Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: A hatchment to the north of the tower arch in the nave of All Saints Church in Farley, Wiltshire, England. Suggested with some uncertainty by "Summers, P., Hatchments in Britain, Vol.4" (quoted in listed building text[1]), to be for w:Charles James Fox (1749-1806), the prominent Whig statesman, third but second surviving son of Henry Fox, 1st Baron Holland, whose father Sir Stephen Fox built the church, in which there are many other Fox family monuments. Charles James Fox married "the courtesan Elizabeth "Armistead", who was was born as Elizabeth Bridget "Cane" in 1750. Later items in The Public Advertiser and Town and Country Magazine reported her place of birth as Greenwich, London, and her parentage as variously a market porter and a herb-vendor or a shoemaker turned Methodist lay preacher, but biographer I. M. Davis gives such accounts little credence. Samuel Rogers believed she had once been a waiting woman to actress Fanny Abington. The reasons for her changing her maiden name to Armistead or Armitstead are unknown". (Source: Wikipedia). Unlikely therefore that she had any paternal arms. However the arms impaled here by Fox (Ermine, on a chevron azure three fox's heads and necks erased or on a canton of the second a fleur-de-lys of the third) are: Barry of six or and azure, on a bend engrailed sable plain cotised gules three escallops of the first, which are the arms on the wife's side of the shield. These are not the arms of "Armistead" given in Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.24, namely: Argent, a chevron gules between (three) points of spears azure tasselled in the middle or, nor are they the arms of "Armitstead", nor of "Cane" given by Burke as: Sable, a bend or between three bezants (Burke, 1884, p.165). Quite possibly therefore the arms are invented, unless granted to her by the College of Arms. These arms do not fit the wives of any other known married men of the Fox family of the era suggested by the style of the hatchment, i.e. early 19th century. |

Notes[edit]
 | This image might have been cropped to improve composition and/or optimized for white and colour balance and contrast. Please do not upload a modified image without consultation. Images are often JPEGs derived from RAW file format, and reprocessing JPEG files reduces quality. If you believe changes are required, and through discussion this appears appropriate, the author can upload an ammended substitute from the original source, thus maintaining quality. Need a file for hard copy publication?: Noise reduction, camera lens distortion correction, colour balance and sharpening workflow of camera-unsharpened RAW files have been judged through a calibrated HP Z Display monitor. However, for print media this type of optimizing can often prove problematic depending on particular print output requirements. Where a RAW files exists, I can supply the original in native full size format for third party specific hard copy publication optimizing. Author contact: |
