We give these arms as a frontispiece, copied from a funeral certificate of Sir Anthony Mildmay, 1617 (Miscell. Gen. et Her., ist Ser. ii, 268); he was of Apthorpe, co. Norfolk, Ambassador to France under Elizabeth, and "married Grace, second daughter and one of the coheires of Syr Henry Sherington of Lacock”, by whom he had many children. This shield may also be seen on Walter Mildmay's monument in the south aisle of St. Bartholomew the Great, Smithfield, restored in 1870 by Henry Bingham Mildmay. In this Visitation the second quarter is ascribed to LA VALL, whereas in Farrer's Church Heraldry of Norfolk it is given to SWATHING," occurring in painted glass in Cranworth church, quartered with, Ermine, on a chevron engrailed azure three leopard's faces or—PYRTON. Henry Sherington, of Sherington, parish of Dereham (this is next to Crånworth), is the first-mentioned in the pedigree; after four generations in this place, Sir William, of Lacock, appears as the first in Wilts, being son and heir of Thomas Sherington, of Sherington, by Katherine Pyrton; Henry Sherington, afterwards of Lacock, being third son. In the printed Visitation of Wilts, 1623,2 by Dr. Marshall, now Rouge Croix, CALEY (defertur sed non probavit arma), ERNLEY, JORDAYNE and VAUGHAN have pedigrees; a FLOWER of Littleton is described as ignobilis; JASON, RESTWOLD, Roswell, SHARINGTON, STURMY, TrowBRIDGE, and YERWORTH are not mentioned at all; KELLOWAY as intermarrying with Daniells; QUINTON with Eyre and Harold; and WINDHAM with Moore; there is given a drawing of the seal of SARUM, but no blazon.-ED.
