DescriptionDenysArms SuttonPlace Surrey.png |
English: Replica of the arms of Sir Walter Denys (died 1571) of Dyrham in Gloucestershire, displayed in stained glass erected in 1530 in the lower south-west window of the Great Hall of Sutton Place, Guildford, Surrey, built by his father-in-law Sir Richard Weston (1465–1541). Sir Walter Denys married Margaret Weston, a daughter of Sir Richard Weston. (Source: Harrison, Frederic, Annals of an Old Manor House: Sutton Place, Guildford, London, 1899, pp.239-40). Harrison (p.239) describes this window as "A magnificent coat of arms, contemporary with the Hall and almost perfect. This splendid specimen gives a vivid impression of the command over the resources of colouring possessed by the glass-painters of 1530". The arms show Denys (Gules, three leopard's faces or jessant-de-lys azure over all a bend engrailed of the last) quartering Berkeley (of 4 quarters), emphasising that Denys's mother was Anne Berkeley, daughter of Maurice Berkeley (died 1506), de jure 3rd Baron Berkeley. However, as Anne Berkeley had brothers, including the 4th and 5th Barons Berkeley, she was not an heraldic heiress, and Denys would not therefore have been entitled to quarter the arms of Berkeley. It must be assumed that the Denys arms were thus "gilded" by Sir Richard Weston to emphasise his connections to the leading families of England, especially here to royalty in the person of Thomas of Brotherton, 1st Earl of Norfolk (1300-1338), the fifth son of King Edward I (1272-1307), who is represented by the royal arms of Plantagenet. Maurice Berkeley's mother was Isabel Mowbray, 2nd daughter of Thomas Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk (d.1399), which family quartered de Warenne, Earls of Surrey. Thus the arms of Brotherton, Mowbray and Warenne are here quartered by Berkeley.
The Denys arms with 8 quarterings also appeared in the east window of the Lepers' Chapel in Ilford, Essex, and was repaired in 1782, as reported by Lysons (Lysons, Daniel, The Environs of London: Counties of Herts, Essex & Kent, London, 1796, p.110, footnote 218[1]). The quarterings were:
