Derived from the Old English word for a forest clearing or meadow, this family branch rose to prominence in High Legh, Cheshire, shortly after the Norman Conquest of 1066. This specific armorial design, featuring a vibrant red lion rampant on a golden field, belongs specifically to the ancient estate of Leigh of West Hall in High Legh. The lineage has been documented continuously since the thirteenth century and was officially recognized in ancient heraldic registers such as Burke’s General Armory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eEvery component of this shield reflects classical knightly virtues, anchored by the Anglo-Norman motto meaning strength with virtue. The golden background of the shield signifies honor, generosity, and elevation of mind, while the central red lion rampant is a symbol of sovereign power, courage, and magnanimity in battle. The crest above the shield displays an armored arm rising from a golden coronet and firmly grasping a broken arrow or spear, a traditional heraldic emblem symbolising a victory in combat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eNotable Historical Figures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eThe legacy of this branch is carried forward by notable individuals such as Colonel Egerton Leigh, a nineteenth-century British Army officer, antiquary, High Sheriff of Cheshire, and Member of Parliament who served as the direct head of the ancient West Hall estate. The family’s foundational history rests upon ancestors like Richard de Legh, a thirteenth-century lord of High Legh whose descendants consolidated the family's standing among the premier landed gentry of the region. For families whose heritage connects to the Norman settlers of Cheshire, the High Legh region, or variants of the Leigh and Lee surnames, this lion rampant design constitutes their historical armorial bearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(6, 102, 102);\"\u003eAbout the artist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach coat of arms in the Family Crests Store is an artwork by heraldic artist Éamonn Breathnach.
