Granted to the armiger’s Father
John Henry Angell
Parsons, F.S.A.Scot,
F.Birm.Soc, recognising
works and charitable
deeds carried out for
the City of Birmingham.
Tinctures and Crest all
allude to the family’s
ancestral connection to
the Angells of
Crowhurst, in particular
John Angell, M.P., Groom
of the Wardrobe,
Verderer and Caterer of
Windsor Park to Kings
Charles I & II.
The Lions represent a
possible link to the
armiger’s paternal
ancestry, in
that their
ancestors used the name
of Litley, alias
Parsons, for some 300
hundred years, and in
earlier records the name
appears as Lutley.
A family of this name
originating of Lutley,
bore the arms: Quarterly
Or, and Azure, four
lions rampant
counterchanged. The
motto is also that used
by the Angells of
Crowhurst, and
translates, to Stand
Upon the old Paths.
