 |  | The surname of LOCKWOOD was derived from the Old English word 'locwud' a locational name, the dweller by the enclosed wood, from residence nearby. Originally the coat of arms identified the wearer, either in battle or in tournaments. Completely covered in body and facial armour the knight could be spotted and known by the insignia painted on his shield, and embroidered on his surcoat, the draped garment which enveloped him. In the middle ages it was customary for a man to be named after the village where he held his land: this name identified his whole family and followed him wherever he moved. It could have been his place of birth, or the name of his land-holding. Early records of the name mention Henry de Lokwood, 1221, Wales. Henry de Locwode, 1294, County Surrey. Willelmus de Lokwod was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379. Hereditary surnames were originally imported from France into England during the Norman Conquest of 1066. In the two centuries or so after the Conquest surnames were acquired by most families of major landholders, and many landed families of lesser importance. There appears to have been a constant trickle of migration into Britain between about the years 1200 and 150O, mostly from France and the Low Countries, with a small number of migrants from Scandinavia, Germany, Italy and the Iberian peninsular, and occasional individuals from further afield. During this period groups of aliens settled in this country as for example, the Germans who from the late 15th century onwards settled in Cumbria to work the metal mines. Immigration during this time had only a small effect on the body of surnames used in Britain. In many cases, the surnames of immigrants were thoroughly Anglicised. The late sixteenth century saw the arrival, mostly in London and the south-coast ports of large numbers of people fleeing from the war regions of France. In 1575 Roberte Clayton and Elizabethe Lockwood were married at St.Michael's in Cornwall. Belva Ann Lockwood (born as Bennett in 1830-1917), an American lawyer and reformer, married Ezekiel Lockwood in 1868. She became the first woman to practice before the Supreme Court. The associated arms are recorded in Sir Bernard Burkes General Armory. Registered at Dewes Hall, County Essex, and Gayton, County Northampton. Descended from Rev. Richard Lockwod, rector of Dingley, Northampton. Granted 1530. | Maria Lockwood (born year) |
