The surname Ledward lends itself to a canting coat of arms. The first element of the name derives from the old English and Anglo-Saxon words for a stream or sparkling brook. The second from the Latin and later Anglo-Norman words meaning a guardroom of a castle or keep and key to baronial property. The crest alludes to Dr Ledward’s academic and literary achievements.
