[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 7573016, member: 14159"] Hello everyone, I figured I'd ask here on the chance that someone might have some information. At the Church I attend, there's a small coat of arms in the corner of a huge stained glass window. Somehow, someway, nobody had noticed it before me. Well, nobody there. The two priests at that parish never realized it was there (and one had even just given a sermon on how he sees that window at every sermon he gives, and the symbolism of that window). The historian of the parish somehow never noticed it, and became befuddled when I pointed it out. . .he was sure they had documentation on what that meant. . .only it wasn't there. I've tried to look it up. It's not any kind of ecclesiastic heraldry that I can find, I've searched Catholic, Anglican/Episcopal, Eastern Orthodox, and Lutheran sources for it. . .it's not the arms of any diocese, bishop or other religious body that I can tell. The fact that it's an impalement with 3 lions rampant Or on a field gules in the dexter side indicates that it's probably something to do with some person or group in a union with the British royal family. . .that's as far as I can easily get. The charge on the sinister side of the arms isn't very obvious, but I [B]think [/B]it's a Cross Potent. I've included a photo of the relevant portion of the window as an attachment. The Church has stood since the 1920's, so the window can't be older than that. If anyone has any clue as to the meaning of the arms, or a better source for researching it, it would be appreciated.
