Early Origins of the Norcliffe family
The surname Norcliffe was first found in the East Riding of
Yorkshire at Langton, a parish, in the union of Malton,
wapentake of Buckrose. "Langton Hall, is a handsome mansion, the seat of Lieut.-Col. Norcliffe, who is lord of the manor, and chief proprietor of the soil."

The Norcliffe Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Sine maculâ
Motto Translation: Without spot
