Eleanor was the last of this major Bluet line her date of death is
unknown but is after 1380. The Bluet family continued elsewhere of
course, in Ireland, the Marches, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, but their
long association with the land in Hampshire, Gloucestershire and
Wiltshire was over. Some reminder of them continued, however; The
Baynard line descending from Edmund and Eleanor retained the Bluet
sigil as part of their arms. A carved shield, thought to have originally
come from the front porch of the old Lackham House is to be found on
the west wall of the current house at Lackham and shows the combined
Bluet and Baynard arms.
