Under the tablet is a tiny shield bearing-Azure, three inescucheons two and one argent. Below is the inscription IAINE STAPLETONE DOVGHT ER & HEIRE OF BRIAN STAPLETONE 1 This Brian Stapleton was son of Sir Brian (d. 1550) and his second wife, Joan Bassett, and was of Burton Joyce, Notts.

The first quarter, which now reads UMFRAVILLE, LASCELLES, CONSTABLE, has been reversed. In the second quarter the dexter is plain azure, and the sinister is argent, with part of the head of a lion sable, patched with a piece of cartouche work. The third quarter has NEVILL and BENELEY. The fourth is a reversed quarterly of six, with the tops of the upper three quarters cut off, and now reads-1. VESCI. 2. ATON. 3. EURE. 4. BENELEY. 5. WARD. 6. NEVILL. The inscription, which belongs to the shield in the previous light (1), reads Sir Henry Constable knight maried Marget henry chatherine & other moe.* 1 The blazons of these six quarters are the same as in the dexter half of the lower shield in Light II. 4 of the Constable window (see p. 169 post), from which window this panel has doubtless been removed. 2 So in Flower's Visitation of Yorkshire, 1563-4 (Harl.

The names are not always in the correct order in the window, and the William Fairfax who married Constance de Mauley in 1392 is called Thomas in Light I. 6. LIGHT I. 7. Quarterly.

The STAPLETON quarterings, 7 to 15, are the same as in the shields in Lights I. 1, 2, 4 and 5, and II. 1, 2, 3 and 4, of the south window, except that in 7 the lion of the Stapleton coat is charged on the shoulder with a crescent argent for difference. 4 The blazons of the nine Constable quarters in the impalement are the same as in the dexter half of the shield in Light I. 1 of this (bay) window. 5 These quarters have evidently been disarranged in reglazing. 14.

I of the same window. 4 WORMELEY of Hatfield (Glover's Visitation of Yorkshire, 1584-5, Foster's ed., p. 350). WORMELEY of Rikhall (Dugdale's Visitation of Yorkshire, 1665, Surtees Soc. ed., p. 211). But I cannot find any marriage with Wormley in any of the Fairfax pedigrees, except that of Dorothy Fairfax with Edward Wormley of Riccall in 1666 (Dugdale's Visitation of Yorkshire, Mr. J. W. Clay's ed., II. 195). 5 This shield is an insertion, and differs entirely in character from all other shields in the glazing. The Fairfax lion is much more English in its drawing than elsewhere in the glass, and this is the only shield in the windows in which the lion is debruised by the bars-gemels. The glazing of the whole light has been much patched, and much of it has been reglazed with odd bits, among which are several pieces of fourteenth-century grisaille, |
