Heraldic Arms:

 

(Copy of Arms supplied by David John Murdoch)

 The heraldic arms illustrated opposite are those granted to an ACKHURST (details unknown) as described by Sir Bernard Burke in his "General Armoury of England, Scotland and Wales".

For further details of the heraldic description of the arms and bearings see the relevant article by David J Murdoch mhuirich@surnames.com on the AKEHURST WORLD Web Site under the title AKHURST ARMS.

Note the acorns representing oak trees. The surname Akehurst has been said to be Old English (OE) derived from the term Oak Hurst, meaning an Oak wood or forest.
