Summary edit
| Description |
English: Edward MacWilliam (d.1495) of Stambourne Hall. Stained glass c.1530, Stambourne Church, east window. His tabard appears to have added scraps of heraldic glass added, as arms not shown in correct order. He was the son of Edward Macwilliam (d.1479) by his wife the heiress Elizabeth Inglosse / Englowes. The arms are Englowes: Argent, a chevron between three gads sable (As shown on the monument to Sir Edmund Gorges at Wraxall, the charges are wrongly shown as crosses patée sable). Englowes arms shown very clearly in the MacWilliam stained glass window, c.1530, chancel east window, Church of St Peter and St Thomas Becket, Stambourne, Essex. Argent, a chevron between three gads sable, shown on tabard on Edward MacWilliam and on upper lancet windows 4 and 5 (from left). Per Glossary of Heraldry[1]: "Gad: A plate of steel for hammering iron upon, borne by the London Company of IRONMONGERS .... The representations of this charge are sometimes very doubtful, and they have been blazoned cubes, gads (as in the insignia of the IRONMONGERS' COMPANY), blocks, &c.: but in the following examples the cubes are no doubt intended for dice, and should be drawn as such. ENGLOWES, Somerset: Azure, a chevron between three dice sable each charged with four spots. However in this stained glass at Stambourne the gad is clearly visible as A billet sable charged with four gouttes argent, not dice. Macwilliam arms hard to identify on his tabard, but prominent elsewhwere in Stambourne Church, marshalled with Englowes |
