Description: Armorial of Denzell of Mawgan, Cornwall & Filleigh, Devon: Sable, in base a crescent in chief a mullet argent. (Pole (d.1635): "Densill of Filley: Sable, a molet betwixt the horns of a crescent argent" (Pole, Sir William (d.1635), Collections Towards a Description of the County of Devon, Sir John-William de la Pole (ed.), London, 1791, p.480)). These arms survive sculpted in stone on the monument to Sir Richard de Pomeroy (1442-1496), in Berry Pomeroy Church (Easter Sepulchre on north wall of chancel). Sir Richard de Pomeroy (1442-1496), KB, knighted by King Henry VII, Sheriff of Devon in 1473, married Elizabeth Densell (d.1508), daughter and co-heiress of Richard Densell of Weare Giffard and Filleigh, Devon, and widow of Martin Fortescue (d.1472), of Wimpstone, Modbury. These arms of Densell also survive quartered on the monumental brass to Richard Fortescue (c. 1517–1570) in Filleigh Church.
