The ostrich feather and rock allude to the name Featherstone. The battle-axes are included as a reminder that battles were fought in the locality during the Civil War of 1641-49. In this connection, Langdale Sunderland, nephew of Sir Marmaduke Langdale, first Lord Langdale, raised a troop of cavalry during the siege of Pontetract Castle. His home, after the sale of his ancestral estates near Halifax - to pay the heavy fine imposed upon him for supporting King Charles I - was Ackton Hall, situate within the district. At his death in 1698 he was buried in Featherstone Church. | The ostrich feather and rock allude to the name Featherstone.
