Description: | Heraldry was an important part of the medieval world. It acted as a strong visual image of who was who in a world where very few people could read. Throughout the building there are the coats of arms and devices of the families who have been associated with the hall over the last five and a half centuries.The carved coats of arms above the main courtyard door and the door to the main staircase were introduced during the 1849 renovations. These show the arms of the second Hickman Baronet and those above the main staircase door the arms of Henry Hickman Bacon 1788-1862. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
