Summary
A stained glass panel of decorative Renaissance borders and fragments, to the centre an image of a hand grasping a Pheon; the arms of Holt of Grislehurst. The surrounding fragments include a figure in sixteenth century armour, part of an inscription, fictive architectural mouldings and nineteenth century coloured glass.
Provenance
The majority of stained glass at Lyme Park was originally made to be displayed in St Mary's Church, Disley. Some of this glass was removed in the early nineteenth century by Thomas Legh and re-housed in the Drawing Room and Porter's lodge probably during Wyatt's 1814 remodelling. Other fragments may be European in origin dating from a range of periods; Thomas Legh collected these on his travels abroad.
