    • NOTES ON THE RUDING FAMILY OF LEICESTER
      Taken from the Leicester City Council website

      4.6 The second manor in Bromkinsthorpe was 'Westcotes', a name that survives today. Its history is closely associated with Leicester Abbey, being one of its 'granges' (or farms) until the Abbey was dissolved in 1538. The land was eventually sold to a John Ruding in 1558, one of whose descendants, Walter Ruding, built himself a fine country house called Westcotes Grange (see Fig. 4). This stood on the site of today's Cranmer Street and its grounds extended from Hinckley Road to Westcotes Drive (Map 3). The family name is preserved as Ruding Road on the east side of Narborough Road.

      4.9 The Ruding family (para. 4.6) were the owners of the West Cotes estate from the 16th century until 1821, after which it passed through various hands until it was bought by its last owner, Joseph Harris, around 1846. The Harris's sold the land in 1886 and the new owners demolished the old house and sold the land for housing in 1888.

      The ancient arms of Inge as probably used by the above~named mayor, and formerly to be seen on one of the Ruding floor slabs in St. Mary's church, were :-Argent, a chevron between three goats' heads erased sable. Later members of the family, including descend~ ants of the alderman according to Burke, have used the arms :-Or, on a chevron vert three leopard's heads caboshed, or. (Burke says argent), Crest :-Two halberds (Burke says battle~axes) in saltier argent, enfiled with a ducal coronet, or. Motto :-UBI AMOR IBI FIDES. (Where there is love there is faith).
