ANCIENT PAINTED WINDOW, HAULT HUCKNALL CHURCH. 47 



These arms are destroyed, but the figure of Pauson which 

 accompanied them has clearly been inserted here to make up 

 the quartet of panels. Newstead Abbey was founded by King 

 Henry II., hence the royal arms beneath the figure of the 

 Virgin. 



Of the fourth panel, containing two male figures habited in 

 blue gowns furred or purfiled at the collars and sleeves, nothing 

 can be said, save that the diapred background and the side pillars 

 correspond with those of the first panel, and so associate them 

 with the Sauvage window. Hence we may conclude they 

 represent the children of John and Elizabeth Sauvage. 



Now let us examine the treatment. 



There can be no doubt but that the whole of this window, 

 including the two strange panels representing two other windows 

 now destroyed, are the work of the same artist. In other words, 

 there were once three painted windows in Hucknall Church, 

 erected about the same time, and executed by the same workman. 

 Apart from artistic evidence, what do we find ? 



ist, Pauson died about 1536; but he erected his window 

 before his death, as we may certainly infer from the inscription 

 on his glass, " Orate pro bono statu." He might have had it 

 done when the Sauvages erected theirs nine years before. 



2nd, The present window of the Sauvages is dated 1527. 



3rd, John Hardwick died in 1528, which would be the date 

 of the Hardwick glass. 



There can, therefore, be no doubt but that the three memorials 

 were erected under the care and supervision of the then vicar, 

 John Pauson. 



The foremost lady in the first panel wears a tabard of arms 

 identified by Dr. Cox as Elizabeth, daughter of Charles Somerset, 

 Earl of Worcester, a lady of royal descent and the wife of 

 Sir John Sauvage. 



The blazonry of arms in old painted glass is not always correct, 

 because of the difificulty experienced in placing the bearings of 

 certain colours upon a field of another colour. When the 

 charges of the shield became more complicated, every means
