the cross moline is impaled with Cheney, denoting a wife, not usually an heiress : 

 but in this shield the cross is quartered with Cheney ; which, again, is a form 

 usually denoting the son of an heiress. It is true that (as exempHfied in the 

 Garter Plate and seal of Neville, Earl of Fauconbridge) the arms of an heiress 

 were sometimes quartered with the husband's, instead of being set on an escutcheon 

 of pretence : still, why on this monument the cross appears difEerently on two 

 shields, impaled on the one, and quartered on the other, is not quite clear. 



' Camden says that Robert Willoughby (who, on account of his descent from 

 the Pavelys by the family of Cheney — both of Brook House — took the title of 

 Willoughby de Broke) bore a rudder, as Admiral of the Fleet. But the rudder 

 was seen on the windows of Broke House, by Leland, before Willoughby had 

 succeeded the older families. See a note in "Wiltshire Collections, Aubrey and 

 Jackson," p. 400. 



' This shield has not been identified. Of the coats of arms known to be con- 

 nected with the Pavely family that of Erleigh comes nearest, viz., three escallops, 

 two and one.
