Monumental Inscriptions and Coats of Arms

These are the entries in respect of Steeple Morden, included in a book Monumental Inscriptions and Coats of Arms from Cambridgeshire, chiefly as recorded by John Layer about 1632 and William Cole between 1742 and 1782, edited by W M Palmer and published Cambridge 1932.

It also includes Arms from the Visitation of Cambridgeshire 1684.

The various pages in the book are re-organised here, so the elements in respect of Cole, Layer and Visitation are grouped under those three headings.

William Cole between 1742 and 1782

The 1929 entry is an Editorial addition and the asterisk indicates not visible in 1929.

John Layer about 1632

Only brief entry. The word raised as applied to the steeple is used meaning razed to the ground, rather than raised up!

Visitation of Cambridgeshire 1684

Visitation by Heralds of the College of Arms to check use of Arms in county.
