Giffard's Cross, near Chillington Hall
'The Giffard family crest bears the French motto: “Prenez haleine, tirez forte”, meaning: “Take breath, pull hard.” It is said to have been granted to Sir John Giffard in the 16th century as a result of the following incident:
A wild panther kept at Chillington Castle escaped and was pursued by the household. Sir John himself came upon it as it was stalking a woman carrying her child through the park. As he drew his crossbow to save the woman his son came up behind him exclaiming the French words quoted above. He shot and killed the panther as it sprang and the King, hearing of the gallant deed, granted Sir John the crest of a panther’s head with his son’s urgent injunction as the motto. A wooden cross in the park marks the spot where this is alleged to have happened.' acknowledgement to http://home.btconnect.com/brewoodparish/brewoodparish/history.htm
