[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 7573649, member: 14159"] Name: Church of the Good Shepherd Denomination: Episcopal Location: Lexington, KY The Parish historian seemed befuddled and didn't know what it was (he was SURE there was documentation of it in his paperwork on the window, but he couldn't find it). The parish priests don't know (one is a new arrival who has only been there a few months, the other never even noticed it until I pointed it out, despite having served there for over 3 years). It's rather amazing that nobody seems to have noticed this coat of arms in the stained glass window until now, or at least nobody on staff none of the current clergy or staff there. It's not the arms of the Diocese of Lexington, those arms are in the lower LEFT hand corner of the window (and contrast a lot more with the window, drawing eyes to them more easily), these arms are in the lower RIGHT. As the Church itself doesn't have a patron saint it's not the arms of any particular known patron. The historian said that the libraries at the University of Kentucky have a lot of records on the Church, but he doesn't have access to that library system (by his own admission he stumbled into the role of historian almost by accident, and has no real training or interest in the field, I've got an M.A. in history). I've got a library card for those libraries as a member of the Alumni Association, so going there to do research was on my to-do list, but I was wondering if those arms were immediately recognizable or if anyone with more knowledge of heraldry than me could point me in the right direction, rather than going through university archives for many hours or even days.
