There are parishes, &c., called Walcot, in cos. Leicester, Lincoln, Somerset, and Worcester, and a Walcott in co. Norfolk. An eminent family derive their surname from Walcot, a manor in the parish of Lydbury, co. Salop. The first recorded progenitor is Roger de Walcot, 1255. His descendant, in the sixth generation, was John Walcot, of whom the family pedigree relates, "that playing at chess with King Henry V., he gave him the check-mate with the rooke, whereupon the King changed his arms from the cross with fleur-de-lis, and gave him the rooke for a remembrance." What evidence there may be for this statement, I know not, though it certainly appears from the roll of arms of temp. Richard H. that the coat borne by John de Walcote was Argent, on a cross patonce Azure, five fleurs-de-lis Or; while that now borne by the family is, Argent, a chevron between three chess-roohs Ermine.
