Summary
A panel of stained glass displaying the arms of George Talbot KG. 7th Earl of Shrewsbury (d.1616) surrounded by a Garter and surrmounted by a coronet. The seventeenth century shield is bordered by an oval surround of nineteenth century glass and a variety of other fragments.
Provenance
Much of the stained glass at Lyme Park was originally 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 remodelling. Other fragments may be European in origin, dating from a range of periods; Thomas Legh probably collected these during his travels abroad.
