I recently visited the National Trust property of Baddesley Clinton in Warwickshire, home to the Ferrers family for many centuries from the 16th Century. The windows of the moated manor show the heraldry of the family going back to the Norman Conquest, and to the first six Earls of Derby before the title was stripped from the family by Henry III. One line of my family history follows the Ferrers from Normandy as follows.
