STAINED GLASS AT NORBURY MANOR HOUSE. 67 
ancient and modern ; the second and third are—r, Ridware ; 
2, Wadshelf; 3, Falconer; 4, Venables; over all, on an 
inescutcheon, Cotton, these being the arms of Maud Cotton, 
an heiress, who brought Hamstall Ridware, Co. Stafford, 
into the family. The sinister side of the shield is parted 
per pale. 1 and 4 Padley; 2 and 3 Eyre; then 1 and 4 
argent, 2 and 3 sable; over all a bend gu/es, charged with three 
annulets ov. So far we have been unable to discover to whom 
these arms belong. Another window, also in the entrance hall, 
contains the Fitzherbert arms, impaling Bothe. This was Alice 
Bothe, dau. of Sir Henry Bothe, of Arleston, Barrow-on-Trent, 
and first wife of Nicholas Fitzherbert (reign Henry IV.) ; his 
second wife was Isabella Ludlow; Fig. 1. 
In a window in the kitchen are the arms of Cockayne and 
Herthul, quarterly, impaling Vernon. (Fig 2). In a window 
in the panelled parlour are two shields—(Fig. 3) Fitzherbert 
impaling Brereton, argent, two bars, sable; and (Fig 4) Fitz- 
herbert impaling gwz/es, the chief imperfect; arms unknown. 
These are all figured on Plate III. 
In the kitchen windows are the arms of Richard Lyster, of 
Rowton, Co. Salop, impaling the arms of Agnes, dau. of Ralph Fitz- 
herbert, Plate IV. These arms have been either incorrectly 
described in Flower’s Visitation of Derbyshire, of 1569, as quoted 
in Churches of Derbyshire, or there is some confusion as to the 
name. ‘There was a family formerly living at Little Chester who 
bore such as are described in the work just named, viz., Ermine, 
on a fesse sad/e, 3 mullets avgent. This may have been a 
branch of the same family, whose arms were differenced by a 
fesse. Whether this be so or not we have no means of ascertaining; 
there appears to be no record of the Listers of Little Chester 
earlier than 1592, whereas the Richard Lyster, whose arms we 
have copied from the glass, lived in the reign of Edward IV. 
Also in the kitchen windows are the arms, Plate V. These 
appear to be Kniveton impaling Montgomery, being John 
Kniveton’s, of Mercaston, who married Margaret (or Joan) 
Montgomery.
