Arms of Thornheigh / Thornhagh / Thornagh: Argent, two annulets interlaced (in pale) gules between three crosses pattée sable (Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.1010 "Thornheigh of Fenton, Nottinghamshire"). Text per: Robert Thoroton, 'Fenton', in Thoroton's History of Nottinghamshire: Volume 3, Republished With Large Additions By John Throsby, ed. John Throsby (Nottingham, 1796), pp. 295-296 [1]:

The greatest part of this hamlet (i.e. Fenton, Nottinghamshire) was the inheritance of Sir Francis Thornagh, knight, descended unto him from Francis Thornagh his grandfather, and Sir John Thornagh his father; his house and seat was here, and is now possessed by John Thornagh, esquire, his grandchild, eldest son of his son Francis, who married Elizabeth, one of the daughters and co-heirs of John S. Andrew of Gotham, esquire, by whom he left issue the said John and others: he was a valiant man, and a colonel of horse for the parliament, in whose service he lost his life by a Scotch lance, as it is said, at the battel begun near Preston in Lancashire, between duke Hamilton and that party; his widow was afterwards married to William Skeffington, esquire, and is yet living with him.
