Badge-A. Tudor rose. E. R., 1553. In MS. notes to the H'istory of Davington, by T. Willement, Esq., I find the following:- " During my many visits to the city of Wells, at the time of the work going on at the Cathedral there, I noticed particularly in the Deanery an Iron back to a grate, having on it the arms, Crown, and initials of King Edward VI., with the date of 1558. The Dean kindly presented to me a plaster cast from it. After his death I received the following letter from his widow. " 'My dear Sir, " ' On leaving the Deanery I find many rare objects of euriosity, etc., which I a.m having either packed up £or removement or placing where they may be appreciated and be acceptable. Do you remember an ancient casting in Iron (I believe one of the earliest) in our Hall? I think you admired it, and had a plaster OF ST. MARY MAGDALENE, DAVINGTON. 191 cast made :from it. Should you like to have it in your own collection of Antiquities, and be willing to remove it, I shall have very great pleasure in begging your acceptance of it, in memory of one whom you have known for many years, and who would have, I feel sure, been gratified to have this object of interest in your hands. I leave the Deanery on Wednesday,'" etc. The letter is signed Frauces Goodenough, and dated at the Deanery, 18 July 1845. The plaster cast is now placed un the screen in the Church of Davington, and the original in iron at the back of the grate in the entrance hall. 2.

He died 9 June 1631, aged 87, and was buried in Davington Church; his wife Anna died 8 March 1613, in her 63rd year.

Arms.-FRA..NCE quartering ENGL.A.ND and surrounded by the garter, surmounted by a Royal arched crown. Badges.-A Tudor rose and a portcullis or, £or KING HENRY VIII. This coat of arms is a plaster east, but I have not succeeded in finding out the original. 192 COA.TS OF A.RMS IN THE CHURCH The following arms and badges occur in the windows:- 10. Arms.-Quarterly: 1 and 4, Azure, six lionceJs rampant argent, 3 and 3, a canton ermine, for SHURLA.ND; 2 and 3, Ermine, a chief per pale, indented or and gules, on the dexter side a rose of the last, for SHOTTESBROOKE, surrounded by the garter. This is the coat assumed by Sir Thomas Cheney, K.G. Sir Thomas Cheney was elected a Knight of the Garter 24 April and installed 18 May 1539. His stall-plate is still in St. George's Chapel, Windsor. His arms are supported by two lynxes (?) vert, collared and lined or. Motto.-" Le rneus que je puis." Sir John Cheney, Kt., afterwards styled Baron Cheney, was descended from Edith Stourton by her second husband Sir John Shottesbrook, Kt. He seems to have dropped the paternal coat of Cheney (viz., Ermine, on a bend sable three martlets or), and to have asEmmed the arms of Shurland and Shottesbrooke, quarterly. As a mark of difference, on the nombril point he placed a crescent. His son Sir Thomas Cheney bore the same coat, omitting the crescent; he had inherited considerable lands in Sbeppey through the families of Shurland and Shottesbrooke, and no doubt assumed the undi:fferenced arms of those families as lord of the estates which had once belonged to them. 11. Badge.-A pomegranate, £or 0.A.TRERINE OF AR.RAGON, she derived it from her father FERDIN.A.ND, who bore it to:commemorate the conquest of Granada from the Moors. 12.

Arms.-Quarterly: 1 and 4, FR.A.NOE; 2 and 3, ENGLAND; surmounted by a royal crown ; the initials, E. R. 16. Badge.-A white falcon in a fettelock of gold, unlocked, on a banner supported by a white falcon. This is painted on a panel, with a background of the livery colours of the House of Tudor, namely, vert and argent. This badge is generally considered a Yorkist badge. The falcon is said to have been used by Richard II. With a padlock in its mouth it was a badge of John 0£ Gaunt. Edward IV.,* who had a falcon with the lock closed, ordered his son Richard to bear it with the lock open, and it is thus represented on the gate of Henry VII.'s Chapel at Westminster, and at Davington. 17. Badge.-A greyhound argent, collared and ringed or, supporting a banner per pale gules and argent, charged wlth a portcullis or. The background argent and vert. The greyhoundt was a badge of the House 0£ York, and assumed by King Henry VII. as a supporter in right of his wife, who had * Vide Willement's Regal HeraZwr11, pp. 54-55, t Ibid., pp. 59-60, OF ST. MARY MAGDA.LENE, DAVINGTON. 193 derived it from the Nevills. Some trace the greyhound to the House of Beaufort. 18 . .A.rms.-Gules, three lions passant-guardant in pale or, over all a label of three points argent. Crest.-On a cap of maintenance a lion statant-guardant, crowned or, £or BROTHERTON. On the dexter side is a shield, Chequy or and azure, for W .A.RREN, and in pale behind it is an ostrich feather, Argent, charged along the spine with a chain or ; on the sinister is a shield gules, a lion rampant argent, for MownR.A.Y. These arms are probably those borne by John Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham, created, in the lifetime of his father, Earl Warren and Surrey, 24 March 1451, Earl Marshal and K.G., who died 1475 without male issue. The arms of Brotherton represent the descent of John Mowbray from Thomas Plautagenet, surnamed "de Brotherton," fifth son of King Edward I., created Earl of Norfolk to him and the heirs of his body. Some writers consider the Earldom of Norfolk to have become extinct on this Earl's decease, but it was created to the heirs of the body; it probably eventually rested in Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk, his daughter, and from her passed to the families of Segrave and Mowbray. Hence the occurrence of the coat of Brotherton wiih that of Mow bray. 19. Arms.-Three pairs of keys in saltire, on a chief three dolphins embowed, for the SALT-FISHMONGERS' COMP.A.NY. This coat is carved in oak. William Smith, Rouge Oroix, says*: "The Company of Fishmongers were at first two companies, of Stock-Fishmongers and Salt-fishmongers." The above coat is that of the latter company . .A.bout the year 1536 the two companies were united, and bore a common coat of arms. 20. Arrris.-Quarterly: 1 and 4, FRANCE: 2 and 3, ENGLAND; surrounded by the garter, and surmounted by a royal crown. Supporters, dexter, a lion rampant guardant crowned or; sinister, a dragon segreant gules. Badge.-A Tudor rose. This achievement of arms is in stained glass, in that part of the cloister known as the "Chaplain's Roorn." The same arms occur in the entrance hall, paintea on a panel with a background, Paly argent and vert, the Tudor livery colours. This is the bearing of King Henry VIII. "The red fierye drago' beaton upo' white and greene sarcenet," was the charge 0£ a standard offered by Henry VII. at St. Paul's on his entry into London after his victory at Bosworth field : and this standard was represented on the corner 0£ his tomb, held by an angel. It is said to have been the armorial ensign 0£ Cadwallader, the last of the British Kings, and from whom Henry seemed fond * MS. dated 1605 in the Library at Davington. VOL. XXII, 0 194 COATS OF ARMS IN THE CHURCH o:f declaring his descent. A tradition had existed that Cadwallader had con1:1oled himself, at a time when but little of his territories were left to him, with the assurance that one of his posterity would, at a future period, wear the 􀅐iadem of. 􀅑ngland.* _Henrt wo􀅒ld avail himself no doubt of this superstition, and with this view probably adopted the red dragon as a supporter. 21.
