Summary
A panel of stained glass displaying the arms of Henry Herbert KG., 2nd Earl of Pembroke (1534-1601) surrounded by a Garter and surrmounted by an Earls coronet. The seventeenth century shield, quarterly of 7, is bordered by an oval surround of coloured and acid-etched nineteenth century glass.
Provenance
Much of the stained glass at Lyme Park was originally made for St Mary's Church, Disley.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 at Lyme, 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.
