Mr. Rogers, however, in Ancient Sepulchral Effigies (p. 296), states that it is the coat of Churchill {sa, a lion rampant arg, debruised with a bendgu.) brought in by Esse ; but certainly in the sketch it has no appearance of a lion below the bend. No. 9 Mr. Rogers calls ** 3 bars (Poyntz)." The sketch, however, shows 5 bars, and the Poyntz arms are barry of eight or, and gu.

C.H.Sp.P. 157. — I will try and give E.M.G. the best information I know of this atchievement. According to the pedigrees of Prideaux given by Sir J. Maclean in his Trigg Minor IL, 218, etc., this panel belongs by its date to Nicholas Prideaux, son of another Nicholas of Solden.
