Punchard appears on the Roll of Battle Abbey. Holinshed spells it Punchardoun, Duchesne and Stow as Punchardon and on the Dives Roll it is Pontchardon. The latter is the nearest to Pontcardon, a village close to Neuffla in Normandy where the family was noted in the 9th and 10th Centuries. The Rev. E G Punchard (1844-1917) and his two sons were the last of the Punchard's officially able to use the family coat of arms. Tragically, both sons were killed in the First World War.
