46 ANCIENT PAINTED WINDOW, HAULT HUCKNALL CHURCH. 



pale lozengy sable ; 2nd, or, on a fesse azure, three garbs ppr. ; 

 and 3rd, a chevron between three martletts ; whilst connected 

 with this figure was the inscription remaining in this window. 

 The figure wearing the arms of John Sauvage is lost ; but the 

 wife of John Sauvage, wearing the arms of her family on a 

 tabard, remains in the present window. She is thus described : 

 " Upon a woman kneeling — Quarterly ist and 4th, France and 

 England on a fesse within a bordure gobonee (Somerset) ; 

 2nd, Herbert ; 3rd, Woodville." Here, then, are mentioned 

 two panels belonging to the Sauvage window, one of which is 

 lost. 



We come, now, to the next quotation : " Under the arms of 

 Hardwick impaling a broken coat is this inscription, ' Orate pro 

 bono statu Johannis Hardwick generosi et . . . . uxoris eijus.' " 

 This clearly relates to a separate Hardwick window. The second 

 panel of our window exhibits these very arms impaling, as in 

 161 1, the identical " broken coat." These arms, therefore, have 

 been taken out of the Hardwick window, now destroyed, and 

 placed in this. The third panel exhibits a single kneeling figure 

 habited in a long blue cloak. It clearly represents an ecclesiastic 

 because of a hood visible at the back, whilst the under vest- 

 ment is white, as would be the case with a priest vested in a 

 cope with an accompanying albe or surplice. Is this figure 

 from the Pauson window? It seems very probable. In 161 r 

 we are told that in Pauson's window was a shield of the arms 

 of England bearing in chief a religious building with a wojnan 

 holding a crozier. The Valor Ecclesiasticus ai i"] Henry VIII. 

 speaks of the Prior of Newstead as patron of Hault Hucknall 

 and of Mr. Richard " Palson " (Pauson) as vicar. The arms 

 of Newstead were : Azure, three lions passant guardant in 

 pale or ; on a chief gules, the Virgin and Child of the second. 



The Virgin and Child must clearly have been taken by the 

 old herald for a woman holding a crozier. Possibly the Blessed 

 Virgin Mary was represented as holding a sceptre in one hand 

 whilst supporting the Holy Child with the other, as on a brass 

 at Morley.
