Summary
[edit]DescriptionRudderHeraldicBadge SirRalphCheney Died1400 EdingtonPrioryChurch Wiltshire.PNG |
English: Rudder heraldic badge, chantry chapel monument in Edington Priory Church, Wiltshire, to Sir Ralph Cheyne (c.1337-1400) (alias Cheney), of Brooke, in the parish of Westbury in Wiltshire, thrice a Member of Parliament for Wiltshire and Deputy Justiciar of Ireland in 1373 and Lord Chancellor of Ireland 1383-4. He was Deputy Warden of the Cinque Ports. Cheney's heraldic badge was a rudder, apparently first adopted by his ancestors the Paveley family of Brook. John Aubrey stated concerning his visit to Brook Hall: "Mr Wadman would persuade me that this rudder belonged to the Paveleys who had this place here".[1] Use of the Rudder badge descended to Cheney and then to Robert Willoughby, 1st Baron Willoughby de Broke. Camden stated of Cheney's descendant: "Lord Willoughby, by report Admiral, used the helme of a ship for the seal to his ring". Aubrey asserted that it had been used by "Lord Willoughby de Broke" in the reign of King Edward IIIs. However "there was no such baron until Hen. VII. and no Willoughby, Admiral, appears in Rapin's List".[2] The device of a Rudder in stained glass windows was recorded by John Leland (1503-1552) when he visited Brook. It survives today in Edington Church, and Aubrey noted the presence in a chapel south of the chancel in Westbury Church "in one window some rudders of ships or".[3] Also present in church of "Seend".[4] |
