The
arms were granted to
David Colin Woodhall,
gentleman, and his
descendants and to the
other descendants of his
late grandfather
Stamford Woodhall,
gentleman, with due
difference.
The arms are Canting
heraldry. The ermine
shield and heraldic
leopard’s head makes
reference to the county
of Shropshire whence the
Woodhall family
originated. The Leopard
heads also appear in the
arms of Shrewsbury and
may make reference to
King William the 1st
Norman overlord of
Shropshire, from whom
the armiger is descended
in the distaff lines.
The chevron and oak
branches are a "cant" on
the family name.
The Anvil in the crest
alludes to the family
trade of iron founders
and the oak tree is a
"pun" on the family
surname. The additional
name of Mckinley was
assumed by deed poll as
Mr Mckinley-Woodhall has
a distaff descent from
the Mckinley sept and a
love of Scotland.
Mr Mackinley-Woodhall is
Lord of the manor of
Mayhead,co Sussex.
