Lineage. 66 Dr. Nash, in his history of Worcestershire, vol. i. p. 116, art. "Bockelton," has the following note respecting the Barnebys : Mr. Habingdon says this family came originally from Yorkshire, and if so were probably a younger branch of the ancient family of Barnby, of Barnby Hall, in the parish of Calthorne, in the East Riding of that county, where they continued to flourish till the last century, when they expired in co-heirs."* THOMAS BARNEBY, of Ludlow, in Shropshire, treasurer to King EDWARD IV. at the battle of Towton, where he was slain on Palm Sunday, 1461.

It consists merely of the principal line with the arms appended in each descent. The upper part is torn off, but the arms of Barneby [sa. a lion passant gardant between three escallops arg.] impaling those of Danby of Laughton, in the county of York [arg. three chevronels traced in the base point of the escutcheon sable, on a chief of the second, three mullets of the first] remain, from which match the descent proceeds as follows: Richard Barnaby, Lord of Barnaby Castell Alice, daughter to Sir Richard Hopton, of Swynerton, in Yorkshire, knt.

These three ladies (as appears from the same pedigree) were nearly connected with the Habingdons of Hindlip, a family deeply implicated in the various plots for the restoration of the Catholic religion in the time of ELIZABETH and JAMES I., one of whom, Edward, (their first cousin), was executed for Babington's conspiracy in 1586, and his brother, Thomas Habingdon, (the celebrated Worcestershire antiquary), narrowly escaped with his life for concealing Garnett, the provincial of the Jesuits, and Oldcorn another Jesuit, (the family priest at Hindlip), after the gunpowder plot in 1605.
