I have looked in Burke's General Armory, Armorial Families and Grantees of Arms. None of which have entries for Skews in Kent.

You must do a proper genealogy in order to determine if you are related to the person who was granted these arms, or related to the family who passed on family arms such as Dutch, German, Flemish, etc.

This link will bring you to arms for the surname Skewes and variant spellings Skewis, Skewse, Skewys. Mostly from Cornwall

Before we can help you with this query could you possibly provide the answers to the following...
1. Do you know the difference between a crest and a coat of arms?
2. Are you aware that in Britain there is no such thing as a family 'crest/arms'?
3. How are you aware that there actually is a crest/coat of arms registered in the surname of SKEWS ?
4. Do you have any documentary evidence that there is/was someone with the surname of SKEWS that is armigerous and was living in Kent when these 'arms/crest' were originally registered, or,
5. Are you just fishing for anything connected with the surname of SKEWS?
