Description: Stained glass heraldic achievement of Lucius Henry Cary, 6th Viscount Falkland (1687-1730) (or of one of his descendants), south chancel window, All Saints Church, Clovelly, Devon. (Re-reversed image, glass fitted in church window reversed). Elizabeth Cary, the last of the Cary family of Clovelly, died in 1738 and the manor was sold by her husband Robert Barber in 1739. There is no reason to suppose that Cary arms were affixed inside the church after that date. Arms: quarterly of 4: 1&4: Argent, on a bend sable three roses of the field (here seeded and barbed or) (Cary); 2: Argent, a fess between six annulets gules (Lucas, for his mother Hon. Anne Lucas, eldest daughter and co-heiress of Charles Lucas, 2nd Baron Lucas of Shenfield); 3: Beaufort, for Eleanor Beaufort, daughter of Edmund Beaufort, 2nd Duke of Somerset (1406–1455), KG, and wife of Sir Robert Spencer (d.pre-1510) traditionally "of Spencer Combe", in the parish of Crediton in Devon. Above is a viscount's coronet, here shown with 7 pearls instead of the correct 9. Below is the motto of Viscount Falkland: In Utroque Fidelis. Supporters: Dexter: A unicorn argent, armed crined tufted and unguled or; Sinister: A lion guardant proper ducally crowned and gorged with a plain collar or. Crest: A swan, wings elevated proper (Debrett's Peerage, 1968, p.438, Viscount Falkland). Viscount Falkland usually displays the arms of Spencer (of Ashbury, Devon) in the 2nd quarter, not Lucas.
