Summary
A panel of stained glass fragments containing a central rectanguar Legh of Lyme coat-of-arms, possibly eighteenth century (?), and four fragments of mantling.
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The majority of stained glass at Lyme Park was originally made to be displayed in St Mary's Church, Disley.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.
