What is recorded here

Flaming mortar, angled shield, and Fleming arms still mark the cloister wall at Slanecastle Demesne. The plaque is a fragment, yet it speaks like a completed herald: small, proud, and half-hidden in stone. It may have stood beside the Royal arms, supporting them as a companion rather than a servant. In that company, even a broken shield becomes a witness to grandeur.

A fragment of an armorial plaque (H 0.6m; Wth 0.4m) is set into the inner face of the W wall of the cloister at the College. It has a small shield or buckler with the Fleming arms placed at an angle beneath a small helmet that has a mortar belching fire on its crest (Trench 1976, 42). It may have been a supporter for the Royal arms (ME019-060013-) now over the doorway in the S range. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 January 2021
