 White Spur (esquire)

The historic title White Spur ("alias" Silver Spur) was a rare variety of English esquire in Devonshire (and possibly the wider West Country).It was defined by John Weever (d.1632) in his "Antient Funeral Monuments" and paraphrased from there by John Prince (1643–1723) in his "Worthies of Devon", (within his biography of John Copleston "The Great Copleston", Esquire (1475-1550)).
