DescriptionFortescue Impaling BeauchampOfRyme BucklandFilleighChurch Devon.PNG |
English: 16th century stained glass displaying the arms of Fortescue (Azure, a bend engrailed argent cottised or) impaling Vair (Beauchamp of Ryme in Dorset). The shield represents the marriage of William Fortescue (died after 1411), of Whympston in the parish of Modbury in Devon (the earliest recorded English seat of the Fortescue family) and his wife Elizabeth Beauchamp, daughter of Sir John de Beauchamp, of Ryme, Dorset, by his wife, Margaret de Whalesborough. ELizabeth was co-heiress in 1390 to her brother, Thomas Beauchamp of Ryme, Dorset. The Beauchamp family of Ryme was a junior branch of the Beauchamp feudal barons of Hatch Beauchamp in Somerset. Thomas Beauchamp died without children, when his heirs to one moiety each became the descendants of his two sisters, the other of whom was Joan Beauchamp, wife of Sir Robert Challons, from whom the moiety descended to a member of the Carwithan family.
Parents of John Fortescue (died after 1432), of Shepham in the parish of Modbury in Devon, Captain of Meaux, ancestor of Earl Fortescue. The shield is one of ten in a window now in Buckland Filleigh Church in Devon, but originally in the manor house of Spridleston in the parish of Brixton in Devon. The stained glass was brought here from Spridleston, as is explained in a manuscript note by Rev. Richard Lane (d.1858) od Coffleet, Vicar of Brixton and owner of Spridleston, as follows: "The windows in the front of the house (i.e. Spridleston) were ornamented with a variety of armorial bearings in painted glass which were taken down a few years since and given to John Inglett-Fortescue late of Buckland Filleigh who placed them in his parish church" (see: File:NotesOn SpridlestonBrixtonDevon ByRevRichardLane Died1858.jpg[1]. John Inglett-Fortescue died in 1840, aged 82. He was the grandson of Caleb Inglett (1702-1752) of Dawlish by his wife Rebecca Fortescue (1699-1764), heiress of Buckland Filleigh and Spridleston.
