English: Arms of Newcombe of Exeter, Devon: Argent, a fess embattled between two escallops in pale sable (Vivian, Lt.Col. J.L., (Ed.) The Visitations of the County of Devon: Comprising the Heralds' Visitations of 1531, 1564 & 1620, Exeter, 1895, p.577). These are the same arms but with altered tinctures, as Nutcombe of Nutcombe in the parish of Clayhanger, Devon (Vivian, p.585). Pole gives the arms incorrectly as with 3 escallops not 2, as are so clearly shown on several surviving monuments (Pole, Sir William (d.1635), Collections Towards a Description of the County of Devon, Sir John-William de la Pole (ed.), London, 1791, p.494). Robert Lydston Newcombe (1719-1808) of Starcross, Devon, was Sheriff of Devon in 1779. His grand-daughter Harriet Newcombe (one of the two daughters and co-heiresses of John Newcombe (1761-1846), of Starcross, monument in Kenton Church) married Montagu Edmund Parker II of Whiteway, whose son was Montagu Newcombe Parker, MP, and whose daughter Harriet Parker married her second cousin Edmund Parker, 2nd Earl of Morley, of Saltram. For a history of the Newcombe family see website: The Newcombe family of Chagford & Exeter, by Peter R. Newcombe, 2005-17[1]. The Newcombe arms (with 2 escallops) may be seen as follows:
Ledger stone of William Newcombe (d.1626), Okehampton Church. He was the 3rd son of William Newcombe (d.1614), of Exeter, Mayor of Exeter in 1613. The diary of Richard Symons, a Captain in the Royalist Army during the Civil War, records: "a flat stone in the south aisle of this church (i.e. Okehampton Church), this coats:- a fess embattled upward between 2 escallops (Newcombe) impaling a saltire engrained between 4 mullets (Napper), William Newcombe of Okehampton obit. 8 April 1626."
Mural monument in Marwood Church to Mary Newcombe, grand-daughter of William Newcombe (d.1626) and wife of Henry Parminter of Barnstaple. The Arms of Newcombe are shown as: Argent, a fess embattled between two escallops in pale sable.
Monument in south-west corner of the churchyard of St David's Church, Exeter, to Robert Lydston Newcombe (1719-1808) of Starcross in the parish of Kenton in Devon, High Sheriff of Devon in 1779.
