DRAWING ROOM. 



Over the fireplace in plaster, is a lozenge with the Hardwick 

 arms and a quartering, and the supporters, stags collared, as 

 already described, and Countess's coronet above. 



The arms on the lozenge are quarterly : i and 4, argent, a 

 saltire engrailed azure, on a chief of the second three roses of 

 the first Hardwick. 2 and 3 are blazoned (wrongly), gules, a 

 fesse sable, between six mullets argent, but, of course, this is 

 incorrect heraldry, and it should be : argent, a fesse, and in 

 chief, three mullets sable ; but has evidently been repainted 

 wrongly at a later date. 



Under the shield, on three panels, is the following inscrijj-
