Summary
A stained glass panel displaying the arms of Edward Manners KG. 3rd Earl of Rutland. The shield, quarterly of 18, has an oval surround that incoporates a date plaque, two female heads and male masque united by scale-patterned purple ovals; all surrmounted by an Earl's coronet. The seventeenth century shield and surround is bordered by an oval of nineteenth century glass.
Provenance
Much of the stained glass at Lyme Park was originally made for display in St Mary's Church, Disley.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, which began in 1814. Other fragments may be European in origin, dating from a range of periods; it is thought that Thomas Legh may have collected these examples during his travels abroad.
