Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Arms of Steynings of Holnicote in Somerset: Argent, a bat wings elevated sable. Image based on heraldic bats shown engraved on monumental brass to Alice Fry (1533-1605) (see images File:AliceFry Died1605 Monumental Brass WashfieldChurch Devon.PNG, File:GeorgeMontgomery SusanSteyning 1605 WashfieldChurch Devon.PNG), a daughter of William Fry, lord of the manor of Yarty in Devon and wife of Phillip Steyning (1509-1589) of Holnicote, Somerset. It was erected by her son-in-law Bishop George Montgomery (1562–1621), whose first wife was Susan Steyning (d.1614). It displays two heraldic escutcheons. On the dexter side the arms of Steyning, Aegent, a bat with wings elevated sable (of four quarters) impaling Fry Gules, three horses courant argent. On the sinister side are shown a version of the arms of Montgomery impaling Steyning. Alice Fry's niece was Bridget Fry, wife of Henry Worth (1537-1606), lord of the manor of Worth, in the parish of Washfield, Devon. Alice Fry survived her husband by 16 years and died at Worth, hence the location of the brass. See Hancock, Frederick, The Parish of Selworthy in the County of Somerset, Taunton, 1897, pp.128-132, concerning the history of Holnicote and the Steyning family. |
