the use of the latter coat by the family in question. The next 
window, called the "Katherine of Arragon," was erected in 
memory of James Skardon, mayor in 1858, by his youngest son, 
Mr. Charles Skardon. In it we have the arms of King Henry VIII. — 
France (three fleurs-de-lis), and England quarterly — and those of 
Katherine of Arragon. 
The next window, presented by Mr. J. Pethick, represents the 
proclamation of William of Orange as King William III., 1688-9. 
This is followed by the window representing the departure of 
the Pilgrim Fathers in 1621, the gift of the late Alfred Eooker, 
Esq. ; but it contains no arms, which lack is made up for in the 
window that succeeds, the " Siege Window." Here we have arms 
inserted to represent some prominent families of local connection 
at the time of the siege of Plymouth during the Civil War ; but 
the claim of some of them to be placed there is rather question- 
able. 1. Barry wavy of six or and gu., Basset. 2. Quarterly 1 and 
Jf arg. a bend betw. fourteen billets gu., Bulteel. 2 and 3 arg. a 
chev. eng. betw. three ravens ppr., Croker of Lineham. 3. Az. a 
bend eng. arg. plain cotised or, Fortescue. 4. Sa. a stag's head 
caboshed or betw. two flaunches arg., Parker of Boringdon. But 
this is wrong ; the stag's head should be silver, not gold. 5. Arg. a 
chev. gu. betw. three roebucks courant, sa., horned and gorged with 
coronets or, with the badge of a baronet, Bogers of Wisdome, now 
Lord Blachford. 6. Or, three roundels gu., on a label of three 
points az. nine bezants, Courtenay. 7. Gu. on a bend ermines 
cotised or, three boars' heads couped arg., Edgcumbe of Mount 
Edgcumbe. 8. Quarterly, 1 and 4 oirg. « fesse betw. three crosses 
moline sa., 2 and 8 arg. three crosses crosslet in bend sa. on the 
centre the badge of a baronet, Northcote of Hayne, Baronets. 
9. Or, on a bend gu. three estoils arg., Bampfylde of Poltimore. 
10. Az. three estoils and a chief ivavy or, Lord Robartes. 11. 
Arg. a chev. betw. three mullets gu., Francis of Devonshire and 
Somerset. Francis of Plymouth, according to the seventeenth 
century manuscript in the Plymouth Proprietary Library, bore the 
chevron wavy. 12. Sa. a chev. betw. three fleurs-de-lis or, said to 
be for Cawse, but the only authority for the arms is that this coat 
is given for the name of Cawse in Burke's General Armory ; for 
Thomas Cawse, who was twice mayor of Plymouth (1636-7 and 
1643-4), used a very different coat, as may be seen by a ledger-stone 
in the church of St. Andrew, Plymouth, which records his death.
