Summary
Panels 6 to 11 form a set, the dimensions are the same, and there are indications that they have all been in the same building - the remains of mortar on the leads is very similar, and the lead ties are all in the same positions indicating that they originally had 5 supporting bars. These panels date from the mid 16th century, probably English, and are a very important survival.This panel has a diamond engraving ‘N3’. And has a complex heraldic device surrounded by red and white roses and surmounted by a silver stained crown. There is a bar at the top and base and a further three horizontal bars. Possibly the Arms of Queen Katherine Parr 6th wife of Henry VIII.
