 190 NOTES AND QUERIES. w-s.v1.sm_8.1w g ETHERINGTON. - In Fairbairn’s ‘Book of Crests,’ revised by Mr. Fox-Davies, the crest of Etherington, orks, is given as a tower with a leopards head. My impression has been for a great number of years that it was a broken or ruined tower and leopard’s head. I suppose a crest implies a coat of arms. Perhaps some Yorkshire contributor would kindly edgive me information. My father belong to the Driflield branch of the family. JOHN ETHEBINGTON.
