Note

The shield is mounted high up in a dark corner of the church. It took many attempts get a photograph. The result is not the quality I would like, but is the best that can be achieved in the circumstaces.

For the same reason I am not a hundred percent sure about the accuracy of the transcription, particularly about the last name: HEBDERN?
