The
Visitations of Cheshire 1533 to 1580
These pages feature illustrations of the
armorial bearings recorded at the
Heralds' Visitations of Cheshire in the
years 1533, 1566 and 1580 along with a
fragment of the records of the Visitation
of the City of Chester in 1591 as
published in 1882 by the Harleian Society.
The book contains few illustrations and
those that are included are in black and
white.
The visitations contained a
collection of pedigrees of families with
the right to bear arms however this work
concerns itself not with those pedigrees
but with the armorial bearings
themselves and I have attempted to turn
the written description of the arms (the
blazon) into a coloured illustration for
every relevant entry. There are thirty
four pages of images.
