Beresford Coat of Arms - St Edmund - Fenny Bentley, Derbyshire - Coats of Arms on Waymarking.com

"Sir Thomas Beresford, who died in 1473, is buried with his family in St Edmunds Church in the village. They were from a prolific family who lived in the area for generations, and owned much of the property and land there. It is suggested that everyone with the surname Beresford is descended from them and there are still reunions held in Fenny Bentley every spring as it is now the meeting place for the Beresford Family Society."

"This ancient Beresford stone, once, perhaps over the door or hall mantle-piece at Newton Grange or Bentley Towers, was found in fragments at the towers in 1879 and framed by the Rev. W Beresford then vicar of St Chad's, Stafford."
