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. Panel 11 has a portcullis surmounted by a silver stained crown. The surround has red and white roses and foliage with grotesques. The background quarry glazing is in tinted white glass, which is partly original, but 6 pieces are damaged beyond repair or missing.
Provenance
Vernon collection transferred to the Treasury in 1967 following the death of 9th Lord Vernon, and transferred to the National Trust in 1967.
