HERALDRY IN NORFOLK CHURCHES - Vol.4 SPARHAM
DEANERY
Ken Mourin FHS, Norfolk Heraldry Society ISBN 0-
9506624-7-X £14.00
This is the fourth part of the Norfolk Heraldry Society's opus
on the heraldry to be found in the county's churches. In many
ways the volumes get better and better, and this fourth volume
is the best yet. As well as twenty-four churches in the Deanery
it covers three houses, with fuller notes on one family (the
Jodrells) and Peter le Neve. The illustrations are clear and the
information on what is to be found in the individual churches
and houses is supplemented with helpful photographs. There is
an index of names and blazons at the back which will be of
great assistance to researchers seeking a particular coat of
arms. The one fault - and a surprising one - to be found is some
erroneous descriptions of Royal Arms. James I and VI would be
surprised to learn that his innovation of bringing Ireland into the
Arms was seen as adding Wales, and Queen Anne would have
been surprised to see that she became a Hanoverian following
the Act of Union with Scotland. There is also a strange
comment about an inn-sign for a hostelry called The Kings
Arms showing the current Royal Arms, said to date from 1845:
"presumably for King Edward or King George". Perhaps the
date should be 1945?
MANCHESTER HERALDRY STUDY
The Greater Manchester Heraldry Society will be holding
their eleventh heraldry study at Worsley Court House on

of heraldic subjects "with a northern flavour".
Tickets, inclusive of a light luncheon, are same as last year
at £10 and may be obtained from our Treasurer, Alan Bacon,
17 St Christopher’s Ave, Ashton under Lyne, OL6 9DT
