Heraldic glass at Heckingham, St Gregory, Norfolk, of the 16th and 17th century.
Whose arms are they? We don't know (send us an e-mail if you do). See below.
Below are scraps of earlier pictorial glass.
The church has a fine Norman doorway. It is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.

19 February 2005. We have heard from our member David Court-Smith, who writes:
The arms shown on the left of the images of stained glass from Heckingham are those of Erpingham (originally from the village of that name just north of Aylsham in
Norfolk).  The best known member of the family was Sir Thomas, who features in Shakespeare's King Henry V and was one of the captains of the king's army at
Agincourt. The main gateway into Norwich cathedral is named after him (he probably endowed it) and he is buried in the cathedral. The arms shown on the right of
the image have Erpingham on the sinister half of the shield (right hand side as you look at it), ie the wife of the person whose arms are on the other side of the shield
(red with a gold chevron) was an Erpingham.
We have also heard from another correspondent, who has identified the arms second-left of the window (next to Erpingham) as belonging to the Clifton family.
