Shield of Francis Manners, 5th Earl of Rutland, in its spectacular setting
Neil Fortey
This shield is mounted at the top of the enormous tomb of the 6th Earl, the so-called “witchcraft tomb”. The crest is hard to see owing to its height and the dim lighting in the chancel.
There are 20 individual blazons, which are:
Top row (L to R): to be completed
2nd row (L to R):
3rd row (L to R):
4th row (L to R):
