Southard

Serving under the Gentry of this Realm, Lord Joshua became Knights Bachelor of the Rose.  He was so knighted by HRH Danielle, Princess Royal and Duchess of Armorique in 2012.  The surname Southard was first found in Lancashire, principally in the area of Samlesbury Hall where they held a family seat from very ancient times, as Lords of the manor of Southworth. Specifically, Houghton with Middleton and Arbury was an ancient family homestead.
