Wallacoomb History, Family Crest & Coats of ArmsEarly Origins of the Wallacoomb familyThe surname Wallacoomb was first found in Devon where they held a family seat from very ancient times, and were Lords of the manor of Woollacombe. In the parish of Lanow, in some old records called Lanow Seynt, and in others Landoho, and in Doomsday Survey Langenewit of neighboring Cornwall, the ancient manor was at one time granted to John Wollacombe, clerk, and Roger Prideaux, gent.
