| Description |
English: Rudder heraldic badge (apparently originated by the Paveleys of Brook) sculpted on the alabaster monument of Robert Willoughby, 1st Baron Willoughby de Broke (died 1502) in Callington Church in Cornwall, with drawing by Rogers (1877) ([[William Henry Hamilton Rogers
|Rogers, William Henry Hamilton]], The Antient Sepulchral Effigies and Monumental and Memorial Sculpture of Devon, Exeter, 1877, pp.346-7) Robert Willoughby, 1st Baron Willoughby de Broke (died 1502) was created the first Baron Willoughby de Broke.[1] He rebuilt Brook Hall in the parish of Westbury, Wiltshire, and installed many heraldic stained glass windows, which were recorded and described in 1650 by John Aubrey on his visit to Brook. A common image in these windows was the heraldic badge of a rudder, which was noted earlier by John Leland (1503-1552) when he visited Brook. Sir Ralph Cheney's heraldic badge was a rudder, as is visible sculpted on his monument in Edington Priory Church, but had apparently first been adopted by his ancestors the Paveley family of Brook. Aubrey stated concerning his visit to Brook Hall: "Mr Wadman would persuade me that this rudder belonged to the Paveleys who had this place here".[2] Use of the Rudder badge descended to Cheney and then to Willoughby. William Camden stated of Cheney's descendant: "Lord Willoughby, by report Admiral, used the helme of a ship for the seal to his ring". A small rudder is sculpted on the alabaster monument and effigy of Robert Willoughby, 1st Baron Willoughby de Broke (died 1502) in Callington Church in Cornwall.[3] Two relief sculptures of rudders survive today in Edington Church, and Aubrey noted in a chapel south of the chancel in Westbury Church "in one window some rudders of ships or".[4] They were also formerly visible in the church of "Seend".[5] Two Rudder heraldic badges survive sculpted on the chantry chapel monument in Edington Priory Church, Wiltshire, to Sir Ralph Cheyne (c.1337-1400) (alias Cheney), of Brooke, in the parish of Westbury in Wiltshire, thrice a Member of Parliament for Wiltshire and Deputy Justiciar of Ireland in 1373 and Lord Chancellor of Ireland 1383-4. He was Deputy Warden of the Cinque Ports. Cheney's heraldic badge was a rudder, apparently first adopted by his ancestors the Paveley family of Brook. John Aubrey stated concerning his visit to Brook Hall: "Mr Wadman would persuade me that this rudder belonged to the Paveleys who had this place here".[6] Use of the Rudder badge descended to Cheney and then to Robert Willoughby, 1st Baron Willoughby de Broke. Camden stated of Cheney's descendant: "Lord Willoughby, by report Admiral, used the helme of a ship for the seal to his ring". Aubrey asserted that it had been used by "Lord Willoughby de Broke" in the reign of King Edward IIIs. However "there was no such baron until Hen. VII. and no Willoughby, Admiral, appears in Rapin's List".[7] The device of a Rudder in stained glass windows was recorded by John Leland (1503-1552) when he visited Brook. It survives today in Edington Church, and Aubrey noted the presence in a chapel south of the chancel in Westbury Church "in one window some rudders of ships or".[8] Also present in church of "Seend".[9] |
