Summary
A rectangular panel of stained glass displaying the arms of Sir Henry Hastings, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon; with a shield of 16 quarters surrmounted by an Earl's coronet and surrounded by a Garter. 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 in 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; it is thought that Thomas Legh may have collected these during his travels abroad.
Marks and inscriptions
13 (painted in black in several places on the Garter)
