Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Fragment from demolished chest tomb c.1488 in Molland Church, Devon, probably that of Sir Philip Courtenay (d.1488) of Molland, showing within a gothic quatrefoil an escutcheon bearing the arms of Courtenay (with a crescent for difference of a second son) quartering A bend, family unknown.

In 1877 were visible three indistinct charges on the bends. Rogers stated "apparently a bend charged with three mullets", p.384; the bend may have been on a bend three cross crosslets fitchy, the arms of Wonwell. Sir Philip Courtenay (c. 1430 – 7 February 1489) of Molland married a certain Elizabeth (c.1432-1482), according to Benson possibly the daughter and heiress of John Wonwell (d.pre-1458) of Wonwell in the parish of Kingston, Devon. (see: Benson, J., Molland, Devon and Cornwall Notes and Queries, Vol. 25 (1952-53), pp.101-102; Rogers, W.H. Hamilton, The Antient Sepulchral Effigies and Monumental and Memorial Sculpture of Devon, Exeter, 1877).

Possibly the arms of Dauney/Daunay/Dawney, the heiress mother of The 3rd Earl of Devon, "The Blind Earl". There appears to be an arrow on the bend. Arms of Daunay: Three arrows on a bend (Papworth, John Woody, Alphabetical Dictionary of Coats of Arms Belonging to Families in Great Britain and Ireland, Vol.I, London, 1874, p.224); given by Pole as Three cinquefoils on a bend cotised (Pole, Sir William (d.1635), Collections Towards a Description of the County of Devon, Sir John-William de la Pole (ed.), London, 1791, p.479)
