NOTE, no source given for these arms.
No such place as Standway Castle seems to exist. These arms are not listed in Burke's General Armory, nor in Papworth under "Ermine, two bars vert", which are the arms of the Delaval family, from Maine, north-western France, and later Northumberland. The Lanvallei family, feudal barons of Walkern, Herts, were from Brittany, and died out in the male line in 1215, about the time heraldry came into use in England.
