Are you a mug if you get it wrong?

Some time ago the Cheshire Heraldry Society Programme Secretary approached me to ask if I could shed any light on the armorial bearings illustrated on a Chinese porcelain mug. Identified thus in David Sanctuary Howard’s book Chinese Armorial Porcelain:
1st Qtr identified as Kinsey
2nd Qtr attributed to Chardelow (of Spratling Norfolk)
3rd Qtr unknown
4th Qtr attributed to Grosvenor

This attribution is not correct.



I believe that the 2nd and third quarters are Birchels and the 4th quarter is Grosvenor (really Eaton).
I have expanded on this belief and given evidence to back it up in my talk entitled Squirrels and Chevrons.

Cheshire Heraldry article in The Heraldry Gazette

It is only a matter of weeks since I received my copy of The Heraldry Society's Heraldry Gazette and I notice that there is already an electronic copy on line for all to see. The latest copy has my article on "Orle vs Escutcheon Voided".

Updates to The Kinderton Roll

I have finally got around to resizing the images prepared for the Vale Royal part of the site. This evening I have got as far as Sir Peers Dutton.
