_Oldham, Bishop of Exeter_ (Vol. vii., p. 14.).--No pedigree of this
prelate's family is known to have been referred to by any of the Devonshire
historians. The arms used by the bishop, and still remaining in several
churches of the diocese, were: Sable, a chevron or, between three owls
proper; on a chief of the second as many roses gules.
Burke, in the _Encyclopedia of Heraldry_, gives a different coat as borne
by Oldham of Hatherleigh in the co. of Devon.
