Scudamore-The very ancient family of Scudamore was divided into two main branches, the one settled at Kentchurch, the other at Holme Lacy in Herefordshire. Of the descendants of Sir John Scudamore, who married Elizabeth, the daughter and heiress of Owen Glynndower, was John Scudamore, of Kentchurch, whose son and heir, Thomas Scudamore, married (i) Jane, daughter of William Scudamore of Holme Lacy; (2) Agnes, daughter and co-heir of Henry White, settlement dated 1575 ; and (3) Anne Middlemore. The ancient arms used by Scudamore are, Gules, three stirrups leathered and buckled or; and a more modern coat is, Or, a cross patee fitchee gules. The crest is a bear's paw issuing from a ducal coronet, and the motto, allusive to the name, is, Scuto amoris divini.
