The arms of King Henry VI, c.1850.
Attributed to Thomas Willement (1786-1871)
From the Parish Church of Crockerton, Wiltshire.
The shield of arms of King Henry is supported by an
eagle and a mythical beast - the yale, with the head of an antelope and the body
of a lion. It is a faithful copy of a 15th century armorial in the great hall at
Ockwells in Berkshire.
This glass is probably the work of heraldic scholar, designer and stained glass
artist Thomas Willement. As in much of Willement's glass, this window combines
traditional glass-painting techniques with those of enamel, used here to
decorate the crown.
Inv. No. 1974/3/1b Given by the Church Commissioners via Diocese of Salisbury
Churches Uses Committee.
