English: Arms of Lord Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell of Gilwell.
OriginsText per Wikipedia: Rev. Baden Powell II (1796-1860), the father of 1st Baron Baden-Powell, was born at Stamford Hill, Hackney in London. In 1870 all his childen adopted the surname "Baden-Powell". (Edgar Powell, Pedigree of the Families of Powell and Baden-Powwll, London, 1926, p.14[1]) His father, Baden Powell I (1767-1841), of Langton and Speldhurst in Kent, was a wine merchant,[2] who served as High Sheriff of Kent in 1831, and as Master of the Worshipful Company of Mercers in 1822.[3] The mother of Baden Powell II was Hester Powell (1776-1848), his father's paternal first cousin,[2][4] a daughter of James Powell (1737-1824) of Clapton, Hackney, Middlesex, Master of the Worshipful Company of Salters in 1818.[5] Hester Powell's brother was Rev. Thomas Baden Powell, Rector of Newick in Sussex, whose arms were: Per fess or and argent, a lion rampant guardant gules (Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.818 "Powell of Newicke, Sussex") The Powell family can be traced back to the early 16th century, where they were yeomen farmers at Mildenhall in Suffolk.[6] Baden Powell II's great grandfather, David Powell (1725-1810) of Homerton, Middlesex,[7] a second son, migrated to the City of London aged 17 in 1712, subsequently going into business as a merchant at Old Broad Street and buying the manor of Wattisfield in Suffolk.[8][4] In 1740 a branch of the family bought the Whitefriars Glass works.[9] The name Baden originated in Susanna Baden (1663-1737), the maternal grandmother of David Powell (1725-1810) of Homerton, Middlesex,[10] and one of the ten children of Andrew Baden (1637-1716), a Mercer who served as Mayor of Salisbury in 1682Español: Escudo raso de Lord Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, I Barón de Baden-Powell de Gilwell
