English: Arms of Wibbery of Wibbery (Webbery in the parish of Alverdiscott) in Devon: Argent, a fess embattled counter-embattled sable between three caterfoils gules. Sources:
"Mr Soms. booke", quoted in Carew's Scroll of Arms, 1588, no.62: "A(rgent) a fesse embateled sa(ble) betweene 3 ? roses slipped by the name of Wibberley"
"Hollinshead, 1223", quoted in Carew's Scroll of Arms, 1588, no.62;
The arms of Wibbery are however given in many 19th century sources as A chevron between three mermaids, but without the provision of any evidence to contemporary sources, and curiously without mention or discussion of Pole's contradictory blazon. The Wibbery family had become extinct in the male line before the production of the Heraldic Visitations of Devon, and thus the arms are not recorded in that source. The heir of Wibbery was the Lippingcott family (Vivian, Lt.Col. J.L., (Ed.) The Visitations of the County of Devon: Comprising the Heralds' Visitations of 1531, 1564 & 1620, Exeter, 1895, p.531), which inherited the estate of Webbery, Alverdiscott, which it made its own seat. The Lippingcott family quartered these mermaid arms, which the above sources identify as the arms of Wibbery, yet other sources, including Carew, state the Mermaid arms quartered by Lippingcott to be the arms of Gough of Cornwall (alias Goff, Goffe, etc), an heiress of which family the Lippincotts married and whose arms they were thus entitled to quarter. (Phillip Lippingcott (d.1567) great-grandson of the heiress Jane Wibbery, married Alice Gough, a daughter and co-heiress of Richard Gough of "Kilkham in Cornwall" (Vivian, p.531)) (Gough of "Kilkeham" (Kilkhampton?) in Cornwall, per Joseph Hollands Collection of Arms, 1579, quoted in Sir George Carew's Scroll of Arms, 1588, With Additions from Joseph Holland's Collection of Arms, 1579, no 62, published in Devon Notes and Queries, Vol.I, Part II, January 1900-October 1901.
