90 Hungerford Chapels in Salisbury Cathedral. 



the arms of Lord Hungerford, the Founder, quartering Heytesbury 

 and Hussey: with knots of sickles in the spandrils. 2. in the 

 panel nearer east, Hungerford impaling Peverell (the first wife) : 

 and 3. in the panel nearer west, Hungerford impaling Berkeley 

 (the second wife). In the spandrils of 2 and 3, single sickles. 



The Iron Chapel is in very good preservation, owing to the 

 interference of the late Lord Radnor, who considered himself 

 sufficiently descended from the Hungerfords to be at much pains 

 and expense to restore it. In a private journal of the year 1784, 

 written by a Wiltshire gentleman, it is said that his Lordship was 

 two years in settling the heraldic ornaments now painted upon it. 

 On the ceiling in its original state were painted Latin sentences, 

 and angels bearing scrolls inscribed with texts of scripture. The 

 present design explains by thirty-two shields elegantly disposed 

 on twisted cords, the line of descent of both Jacob Lord Radnor 

 and his Countess from the Founder. An engraving of this is 

 given, with several other large illustrations of both these Chapels, 

 in Gough's " Sepulchral Monuments," vol. ii., plate lvi. On the 

 ornament above the cornice outside are thirty-six shields, denoting 

 the alliances made by the Hungerford family. The shields 

 within the choir represent matches made by the Hungerfords with 

 females of other families. Those without the choir, matches made 

 by other families with females of the Hungerford family. These 

 embellishments were arranged and executed by Joseph Edmondson, 

 Mowbray Herald, and they form a very beautiful and valuable 

 illustration of the genealogy of the Hungerfords. But the shields 

 are not placed in chronological order, and they also refer, for the 

 most part, to the family history from the Founder downwards ; 

 those which were originally painted having been almost entirely 

 omitted in the restoration. 



There is another brassless effigy near the second arch of the 

 Nave, which is believed to be either that of the Founder's eldest 

 son, Walter, who was taken prisoner in the French wars, and died 

 at Provence, but who, Leland says, was buried at Salisbury ; or the 

 Founder's grandson, Lord Mobiles.
