Summary
A panel of stained glass displaying the arms of Sir Henry Stanley, 4th Earl of Derby surrounded by a Garter and surrmounted by an Earl's coronet. The seventeenth century shield is bordered by an oval surround of nineteenth century glass and a variety of other fragments including two diamond shaped panels with yellow-flowered plants.
Provenance
The majority of 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 on his travels abroad.
Marks and inscriptions
