Took this photo in a St Mary's church Avington a few months ago and it's of a Royal Coat of arms from I think the 1700's when the church was built.
Not far away is this Funerary Hatchment which is one of the best I have seen in a church yet

Elaborate! Tom The Backroads Trveller
Beautiful coats of arms. Love all the imagery!
beautifully preserved history.
These are wonderful!
I had to look up the meaning of "hatchment." Lo and behold, it means exactly what you showed us. Thanks for the view and the vocabulary lesson. And thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
The lion and unicorn motif turns up here as well in crests and other opportunities.
