Luttrell coat of arms - St Michael and All Angels - Harston, Leicestershire - Coats of Arms on Waymarking.com

Luttrell coat of arms in St Michael and All Angels' church, Harston. Probably relating to Sir Andrew Lutterel, co-founder of Croxton Abbey (visit link) , with William, Earl of Montaigne, Parcarius de Linus.

It was for White Canons, or Premonstratensians, and dedicated to St. John the Evangelist. It is said that the bowels of King John, who died at Newark, were buried here.

Croxton Abbey is very near Saltby of Leicestershire and Irnham of Lincolnshire, and the Luttrell family must have had associations with many of the towns and villages in the surrounding area. Sir Geoffrey Luttrell III (1276 – 23 May 1345) was lord of the manor of Irnham. He was a mediaeval knight remembered principally today as having commissioned the Luttrell Psalter (visit link) , a rare and profusely illustrated manuscript now in the British Library in London.

In 1362, Andrew Luttrell of Irnham is recorded as making a "grant to the Premonstratensian house at Croxton in Leicestershire of the neighboruring manor of Saltby, on condition that the community should provide two chaplains to pray for his soul. . . ."

There are two arms of Luttrell differenced by tincture:
1: Azure, a bend between six martlets argent (Luttrell of Irnham, as shown in the Luttrell Psalter);
2: Or, a bend between six martlets sable (Luttrell of Dunster Castle).
It is not clear which version was originally adopted by the common ancestor of both families, Sir Geoffrey de Luterel I (d.1218), at the start of the age of heraldry (circa 1200-1215)
