Katherine was the grand daughter of William and Agnes Skipwith 1482 www.flickr.com/photos/52219527@N00/1157898751/ of South Ormsby . Her mother Catherine was daughter of Richard Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth Clarell.

The central shield has been placed in the indent of a previous Trinity, curiously it is the Skipwith arms rather than Heneage. On either side are Heneage quartering Preston, and Heneage quartering Preston impaling Skipwith which is also on their tabards.
