Excerpt from Collectanea Topographica Et Genealogica, Vol. 7 It is generally known that the ancient and chivalrous house of stanley, branching from the Aldithleys, assumed its local name from the Staffordshire manor of Stanley, and that, on a subse quent acquisition of the Forestership of Wirral in Cheshire, it adopted the allusive arms so often triumphant in the tournament and the battle-field the buck's heads on a bend Azure.
