Summary
A panel of stained glass with a late sixteenth century shield, mantling, helm and Griffon Crest (?) in a cartouche. The arms of 10 quarters belong to Venables Baron of Kinderton.
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The majority of stained glass at Lyme Park was originally made to be displayed in St Mary's Church, Disley.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.
