Escudo de armas del siglo XVII Clegge y pared - Ilustración de stock

This image is from a copperplate engraving, and shows part of a 'roll of arms' from Richard Blome's (Britannia), an atlas published in 1673. It features the coats of arms of people who contributed towards the completion of the work – starting with King Charles II. Each page includes 35 coats of arms, presented here in pairs. These two coats of arms are from folio (page) 10 of the work. In old English, an 's' appeared as a 'long s' (which looks like an 'f'), while 'ss' appeared as 'fs'. The letters V and U can be confused, and 'com' was an abbreviation for 'County'. A number is assigned to each benefactor. Here are the texts accompanying each coat of arms (followed by modernised English where appropriate): 300 Richard CLEGGE of Stone houfe in Hunderfield near Clegge hall Mafter of Art & vicar of Kerkham in Lancafhire (Stonehouse Farm; Kirkham in Lancashire) 301 William WALL of Prefton in Lancafhire Gent. (Preston, Lancashire) More from the same coat-of-arms series (many more via blue link): .
