Description: 1604 heraldic shield above the front door of Staveley Hall, Derbyshire, showing the arms of the father[1] of Sir Peter Frescheville, MP, ( Azure, a bend between six escallops argent),[2] impaling Argent, two bendlets sable (painted incorrectly here as Or, two bendlets azure), for Kaye of Woodsome, Yorkshire, for Peter's mother Margaret Kaye, daughter of Arthur Kaye of Woodsome, Yorkshire. ( A Display of Heraldry By William Newton, London, 1846, p.50[1]) Guillim, John, A Display of Heraldry, 1724 (6th ed.), p.194, gives the arms of Sir John Kay of Woodsom, Yorkshire as Argent, two bendlets sable[2]. The arms are not, as might be expected, for Fleetwood (Party per pale nebuly azure and or, six martlets, 2, 2 and 2 counterchanged), for his first wife Joyce Fleetwood, whom he married in 1604). More examples of the Frecheville arms in the Church of St. John the Baptist, Staveley. (Images see:[3] )( Kelly's Directory of the Counties of Derby, Notts, Leicester and Rutland pub. London (May, 1891) - pp.306-308[4])
