rudder belonged to the Paveleys who had this place here". Use of the Rudder badge descended to Cheney and then to Willoughby. Camden stated of Cheney's descendant: "Lord Willoughby, by report Admiral, used the helme of a ship for the seal to his ring". Aubrey asserted that it had been used by "Lord Willoughby de Broke" in the reign of Edward III. However "there was no such baron until Hen. VII. and no Willoughby, Admiral, appears in Rapin's List". The device of a Rudder in stained glass windows was recorded by John Leland (1503–1552) when he visited Brook. It survives today in Edington Church, and Aubrey noted the presence in a chapel south of the chancel in Westbury Church "in one window some rudders of ships or". Also present in the church of Seend.
