Description: Stained glass at Ordsall Hall, Salford, Lancashire, possibly the arms of Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby (1435-1504), KG, showing the arms of Stanley, quarterly of four: 1st grand quarter: quarterly of 4: 1&4:Stanley; 2:Lathom (erased); 3: de Warenne, Earl of Surrey; 2nd & 3rd grand quarters: King of Man; 4th grand quarter: quarterly of 4: 1&4: Strange of Knockyn; 2: Woodville; 3: Mohun of Dunster Castle, Baron Mohun. With inescutcheon of pretence overall, erased, possibly Azure, a lion rampant argent, frequently shown in this position. (Per Fox-Davies, Arthur Charles, Complete Guide to Heraldry, 1909, referring to a similar Stanley shield: "The arms on the escutcheon of pretence .... seem difficult to account for unless they are a coat for Rivers or some other territorial lordship inherited from the Wydeville family. The full identification of the quarterings borne by Anthony, Lord Rivers, would probably help in determining the point". See File:Complete Guide to Heraldry Fig755.png) All circumscribed by the Garter.
