66 STAINED GLASS AT NORBURY MANOR HOUSE. 
as “ The Scourging,” but it is so damaged that we have made no 
copy of it. 
To most readers of this journal the heraldic glass still 
remaining at Norbury Manor will have most interest, and we 
have given coloured copies of all—with one exception—on the 
annexed plates. We make no apology for doing so, seeing that 
in a few more years these fragile things may share the fate of so 
many that used to be in the windows, but which are there no 
longer ; and we may take this opportunity of suggesting that 
where possible, all heraldic glass should be copied and placed in 
some such permanent keeping as the pages of works like this Journal, 
for the convenience of succeeding genealogists and topographers. 
Those who have in any way been associated with either of these 
branches of family or county history know how extremely difficult 
it has become in many instances to determine what is correct or 
otherwise in the many careless and blundering lists and blazonings 
of arms. Great numbers have been broken or stolen which were 
described and ¢rzcked by Ashmole and others; and the few that 
now remain are in a more or less dilapidated condition. How 
they rattle and creak when the wind blows, so loose are they ; 
what holes there are in them where they have been bobbed 
through by some brush with a stupid at the other end of the 
handle ! signs, these, that there is no time to lose if the scanty | 
remains are to be placed beyond the reach of suchlike various 
destructive influences, and preserved for the benefit of those who 
will come after us. 
In the entrance hall are two circles, one of which is represented 
on Plate II.; of the other we give no plate, because it contains 
only the same arms as those on the dexter side of this plate. 
Referring to it, we see it contains on the dexter half the arms of 
Sir Thomas, eldest son of Sir Anthony Fitzherbert, who appears 
to have had two wives; his first wife was Ann Eyre, heiress of 
Padley ; of his second wife we can learn nothing, either from 
existing records or from the arms here emblazoned. It consists 
of four grand quarterings, each of which is quarterly of 
four. The first and fourth contains the arms of Fitzherbert,
