Stained glass window in St Mary Magdalene's church, Wardington, bearing the Hughes-Chamberlain coat of arms.
"The upper portion of the double lancet window in the south wall of the chancel bears a complex shield of the Hughes-Chamberlains. The arms of the first and fourth quarters of the shield (bottom left and right respectively) are those of the name Chamberlain and were granted to Thomas Chamberlain Hughes in 1793, then living in Wardington, when he obtained the King’s licence to take the name Chamberlain (his mother’s maiden name before she married the Rev'd Hughes of Shennington) in addition to that of Hughes, thereby becoming Thomas Chamberlain Hughes-Chamberlain.
The arms in the second and third quarters are those of Hughes and were granted in 1892 to a Robert Edward Hughes. He was also given the name Chamberlain in addition to Hughes in order to comply with the terms of the will of a relative, Edward Hughes-Chamberlain, who had no issue. The only difference between the two arms appears to be the addition of a spur to the Hughes arms. The Hughes-Chamberlain family – not to be confused with the Chamberlains of Wardington Manor - farmed land between Lower Wardington and Presecote and also between Upper Wardington and Fernhill."
