Description: | Heraldry would have been an important part in the decoration of the Hall and although there is no evidence that banners were hung in the Hall, it is very likely. All but one of the eight banners hanging today represents the families who owned the Hall, their wives or their ancestors.From back to frontThe Earls of Athol: There should in fact be only three yellow stripes. Their surname was Strabolgi. Lady Elizabeth Strabolgi married Sir Thomas Percy. Their granddaughter married Thomas Burgh and through this line the Hall came into the Burgh family.The Roos Family: Margaret Roos was the wife of the first Sir Thomas BurghThe Cobham Family: Anne was the wife of the second Lord Thomas Burgh. She was the daughter of Sir John Cobham.The Burgh Family: The family emblem was the fleur-de-leys; to be strictly accurate there should have been ermine spots on the fleur-de-leys. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
