(Source: Stained Glass in England During the Middle Ages, By Richard Marks, p.198 [1]). HeraldryOn his tabard he displays the arms of Gules, a chevron between three escallops or with a label of three points argent for difference (Chamberlayne) (Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.181, but with a fess not a chevron; "Chamberlayne, descended from the Comtes de Tankerville, founded in England by John de Tankerville, Chamberlain to King Henry I, who assumed his surname from his office") quartering Argent, a saltire engrailed azure (Unknown familial connection; stated as "Legat" by Francis Blomefield (An Essay Towards a Topographical History of the County of Norfolk, Volume 1, p.223[2] - who nevertheless on p.224 states them as "Tiptoft", clearly confused as Tiptoft has a saltire engrailed gules, not azure) these arms are borne by Teringham of Huntingdonshire; and Legat of Pond Hall, Hadleigh, Suffolk; also by Abell of Kent (Papwoth, John Woody, Alphabetical Dictionary of Coats of Arms Belonging to Families in Great Britain and Ireland, Vol.II, London, 1874, p.1056)). Sir William Chamberlayne's Garter stall plate, showing these arms, remains intact within the twenty-third stall, on the Sovereign's side of St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. (See: HOPE, W. H. St. John, The Stall Plates of the Knights of the Order of the Garter 1348 – 1485: A Series of Ninety Full-Sized Coloured Facsimiles with Descriptive Notes and Historical Introductions, Westminster: Archibald Constable and Company LTD, 1901, “ Plate LXV - Sir William Chamberlain, K.G. 1461-1463). His Easter Sepulchre style monument survives in East Harling Church, showing the same quarterings, but without tinctures. The heraldic badge of a gold basket appears here, and is also sculpted several times on his easter Sepulchre monument, together with another badge of a quiver of arrows. The basket appears to be the badge of his father-in-law Sir Robert Herling (d.1435), as it appears sculpted profusely on his monument in East Harling Church. Inscribed below .... (Chamb)releyne Militis (".... Chamberlayne, Knight"); and above: S(anc)ta Trinitas ..... ("Holy Trinity ....."). Anne HerlingAnne Herling (c.1426-1498), the only child and sole heiress of Sir Robert Herling (d.1435) of East Harling, by his wife Jane Gonville, the daughter and heiress of John Gonville by his wife Elizabeth Jernegan. John Gonville's great-grandfather Sir Nicholas Gonville was a brother and the principal heir of w:Edmund Gonville, (died 1351) who founded Gonville Hall in Cambridge and Rushworth College (of priests) near East Harling. (See pedigree of Gonville in Suckling's History and Antiquities of the County of Suffolk, Vol.1, 1846, p.314[3]). Following the death of her father killed in France, she became the ward of Sir John Fastolf (her father’s uncle by marriage) who in 1438 married her off, aged 12, to Sir William Chamberlain who was away for much time until 1447 fighting in France. In 1447 Anne received licence to establish a chantry chapel in East Harling Church, thus fulfilling the terms of her father's will. The marriage was without issue and Sir William Chamberlain died in 1462, the year after having been appointed by the king a Knight of the Garter. (Source: Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi (CVMA) of Great Britain[4]). Anne Harling married again twice, secondly in 1467 to Sir Robert Wingfield (d.1480), whose effigy also appears in the East Window, and thirdly in 1491 to John Scrope, 5th Baron Scrope of Bolton (d.1498). In 1485 Anne Wingfield settled her manors of Rushworth and Larling on the College of Priests at Rushworth (founded in 1341 by Edmund de Gonville), with a further endowment, for the health of the souls of herself and her husbands. Text from 'Colleges: Rushworth', in A History of the County of Norfolk: Volume 2, ed. William Page (London, 1906), pp. 458-460 [5]:
Lost portrait of AnneThe accompanying matching kneeling figure of Anne Harling herself is now missing, just a few pieces of heraldry from her cloak survive. It was however ilustrated by the Norfolk historian w:Francis Blomefield, who described it as follows: A lady whose cloak has on it Wingfield & Bryvel (sic, Bovil) quarterly & on its sinister side Harling and M(orti)mer Q(uarterl)y & escutcheon of G(onville) she kneels on a purple cushion praying at a desk on which a book open it is remarkable that she has round her neck a collar composed of roses Arg(en)t & stars with a lion pendant ex(a)ct like the collar round the neck of her two husbands the field is lozengy of baskets cloaks and quivers of feathers which is her own badge & that of Sir Robert Wingfield & Sir William Chamberlain. This interesting figure is a good deal damaged the face mostly gone round her head is a label 'S(a)nct(a) trinit(at)is d(omi)n(u)s dei Miserere nobis' under her 'Orate pro bono ….
