A couple of weekends ago I was in Salisbury with the family and I re-visited the Parish Church of St Thomas and St Edmund.  My first visit was a bit of a failure because my digital camera died on me.  However, this time armed with my new camera and in the company of my father-in-law I had more success.

As a interim step I have uploaded some of the pictures to photobucket.  The link below will take you to the gallery via the main website.

Recorded Arms for Campbell

Henry Maxwell, 7^th Baron Farnham married Anna Stapleton, daughter of Thomas Stapleton, 16th Baron le Despencer, on 3 December 1828. The couple had no children. Both Farnham and his wife were killed in the Abergele train disaster of 1868.

The Union Discount Company of London

Doorway of St Andrew's Undershaft

Arms of the Clothworkers' Company

Leadenhall Market, Arms of the City of London

My main effort was in the Church of All Hallows by the Tower.  That will be a major project in its own right – time permitting.

Fox-Davies’ Armorial Families gives the blazon as:

Arms: Argent a representation of a corrugated boiler-flue fesseways proper between two foxes courant Gules each holding in their mouth a trefoil slipped  Vert.
Crest: A representation of a corrugated boiler-flue as in the Arms and thereupon a fox Gules resting the dexter pay upon a trefoil slipped Vert.
Motto: Forti Nihil Difficile. (To the brave, nothing is difficult.)

The Harleian Society’s Grantees of Arms has the following:

Peerage and Pedigree – Studies in Peerage Law and Family History

The Arms are listed in my Bentinck armorial.

Arms: 1st & 4th Azure a cross moline Argent (for Bentinck) 2nd & 3rd Sable three stags’ heads cabossed Argent attired Or (for Cavendish).

Crests:  1st Out of a ducal coronet gold two arms counter embowed vested Gules on the hands gloves Or each holding an ostrich feather Argent (for Bentinck) 2nd A snake nowed proper (for Cavendish)

Supporters: Two lions double queued the dexter Or the sinister Sable.

Motto: Craignez Honte (Dread shame)

The Arms seem to be those of Vessey:

Arms: Ermine on a cross Sable five martlets Or

Crest: An arm embowed and couped at the shoulder erect from the elbow habited Gules cuffed ermine holding in the hand proper four leaves Vert.

The hatchment was made by Winsor & Newton of London and is just 14 inches by 14 inches which is somewhat smaller that the usual.  I could not find it listed in the Hatchments of Britain.  These last two factors might indicate it was a “sample”.

I plan to add his Arms to my Grant Armorial in due course.  From his website I have had a go at emblazoning his Arms as below:

To be absolutely sure I will need to have the actual blazon from the Letters Patent.  I’ve dropped Russell’s “team” a line and await a reply. Failing that, I will have to try other avenues.

My initial stab at the blazon is:

Azure two seaxes in saltire pommelled and hilted Or between four estoiles two in fess of the last and two in pale Argent.

I am sure some of my fellow heraldry enthusiasts can correct me.
