A note on the quartering of the Montgomery arms -
"Sir John Vernon, fourth son of Sir Henry Vernon, of Haddon, married Ellen, daughter and co-heiress of Sir John Montgomery. The arms usually borne by Montgomery were— Or, an eagle displayed, az., number 12 on the quarterings; but there was an older coat borne by Montgomery in the thirteenth century — Erm., on a bordure, gu., twelve horse shoes, arg. (Harl. MSS., 6,589, Coll. of Arms MSS., L. 14). The tinctures differ on different rolls. We have no doubt that number 13 of these quarterings is intended for this coat, but not only have the tinctures been wrongly painted, but the horse shoes turned into what appear to be crescents, at sometime when the monument was restored. The Montgomeries subsequently quartered this coat with the spread eagle, and we believe it to be this coat that is intended to be represented on the tower of Cubley, and not that of Cheresey."
