So I am intrigued by the award of land after the battle of Hastings. I believe our family crest has a field of arrowheads (I suppose this means we were archers?).
I think I have also read that King Harald died in part by an arrow through the eye at Hastings.
Do you think there is any chance an ancestor got a lucky shot and was then rewarded by a land grant?

Is this Derbyshire grant listed in the domesday book?
