Summary
[edit]DescriptionWalsingham (Ancient) Arms.svg |
English: Arms ("ancient") of Walsinghham "of Surrey" and of Scadbury Hall, Chislehurst, Kent: Gules bezantée, a cross couped chequy argent and azure. Arms of Sir Francis Walsingham (c.1532-1590) principal secretary to Queen Elizabeth I and popularly remembered as her "spymaster". As seen in 1562 stained-glass in East Window of Mereworth Church, Kent (Source: C. R. Councer, Heraldic Painted Glass in the Church of St. Lawrence, Mereworth, Archaeologia Cantiana, Vol.77, 1962, pp.48-62, esp. p.50 et seq[1]).
Apparently the family's "ancient" coat of arms as two versions of the arms of "Walsingham of Surrey" are given in the Heraldic Visitations of Surrey for that family, in which is included w:Thomas Walsingham (died 1457) of Scadbury (Kent??), MP, husband of Margaret Bamme and Sir w:Edmund Walsingham (c. 1480–1550) of Scadbury, a soldier, Member of Parliament and Lieutenant of the Tower of London during the reign of King Henry VIII (uncle of Sir Francis Walsingham (c.1532–1590) principal secretary to Queen Elizabeth I and popularly remembered as her "spymaster"). The location of the Walsingham seat in Surry is not stated. The "modern" coat of Walsingham, quartered in the first quarter of a shield of 11 quarters, is: Paly of six argent and sable, a fess gules. As it is quartered first, this implies it is the "modern" coat of arms, with the "ancient" (i.e. superseded) arms of Gules bezantée, a cross couped chequy argent and azure shown in the second quarter.
