Two Coats of Arms from Kent in London by F. C. Elliston-Erwood, F.S.A. 

I think, to fly in the face of other more precise evidence, especially when the information given above is taken into consideration.
   It is, or course, possible that these arms, lacking as they do their distinctive tinctures, may be those of one of the families that bore the same charges. Such a one is the Sibill of Eynesford coat, the one dealt with by Mr. Druce (loc. cit.) and still to be seen in the spandril of a

sixteenth century fireplace. The date of the Well Hall arms (1568) is approximately coincident with the end of the Sibill occupation of Little Mote, Eynesford. It may only be coincident, but Thomas Sibill held land at Welhawe in Eynesford in 1488 and near here, later on, was domiciled William Roper's second son Anthony, known as "of Farningham". He is buried in Farningham Church.
