Summary

Description
English: Parclose screen of the Moorhayes Chapel, east end of north aisle of Cullompton Church, Devon. South side, viewed from the chancel. The eight shields (repeated exactly on the north internal side of the chapel, in same order and orientation) display impaled arms of Moore (Ermine, on a chevron azure three cinquefoils or) representing various members of the Moore family of Moorhayes in the parish of Cullompton, lords of the manor of Cullompton. The shields represent the marriages of family members. Probably erected by John Moore (d.1509/10) (husband of Elizabeth Clivedon, a daughter and co-heiress of John Clivedon of Willand), whose own arms impaling Clivedon are included together with those of his male ancestors and at least two of his daughters and one of his sons. One of his younger sons was Rev. Richard More (d.1516) Archdeacon of Exeter and Treasurer of Exeter Cathedral, where his monument survives. Shields left to right (references to: Vivian, Lt.Col. J.L., (Ed.) The Visitations of the County of Devon: Comprising the Heralds' Visitations of 1531, 1564 & 1620, Exeter, 1895; and Pole, Sir William (d.1635), Collections Towards a Description of the County of Devon, Sir John-William de la Pole (ed.), London, 1791)
  • 1:Moore impaling Gambon (of Moorstone in the parish of Halberton?(Pole, pp.197,484)(Argent, a fess between three men's legs couped sable), to represent the marriage of John de la Moor to the daughter and heiress of the Gambon family;(Vivian, p.572) (canting arms, French jambe = leg)
  • 2:Moore impaling Botour (Sable, on a chevron argent five gouttes de sang between three storks of the second(Pole, p.471, blazon standardised), to represent the marriage of John Moore (of Moor Hayes (nephew of John de la Moor, husband of the Gambon heiress) to Elizabeth Botour, daughter and heiress of Henry Botour of Exeter;(Vivian, p.572)
  • 3:Moore impaling A chevron between three escallops Cliveden, for the marriage of John Moore (d.1509/10) (son of William Moore and Jane Stawell, and thus grandson of John Moor and Elizabeth Botour) of Moor Hayes to Elizabeth Cliveden, a daughter and co-heiress of John Cliveden of Willand;(Vivian, p.572)
  • 4:Moore impaling Stowell/Stawell (Gules a cross lozengy argent) with a chief apparently of Martin (Gules, three bends or), commonly quartered by Stowell, for example on the chest-tomb with effigies of Sir Matthew Stawell and his wife, dating from the late 14th century, Church of St Thomas of Canterbury, Cothelstone, Somerset (see File:SirMatthewStawell Late14thC CothelstoneChurch Somerset.jpg). For the marriage of William Moore of Moorhayes (son and heir of John Moore and Elizabeth Botour) to Jane Stawell, daughter and heiress of the Stawell family of Cothelstone, Somerset. (Vivian, p.572)
  • 5:Moore impaling A chevron between three oaken slips fructed (a wife of unknown family). Similar to Amadas of Plymouth, Devon, which bore: Azure, a chevron ermine between three oaken slips acorned proper (Vivian, p.12, where the pedigree starts with William Amadas, a serjeant-at-arms to King Henry VIII (1509-1547))
  • 6:Kirkham (Sable, three lions rampant argent a bordure engrailed) impaling Moore, to represent the first marriage of Sir John Kirkham (1472-1529) of Blagdon in the parish of Paignton, Devon, to a daughter of the family of Moore of Moore Hayes.(Vivian, p.516, pedigree of Kirkham; not mentioned in the Moore pedigree, p.572). These arms are sometimes erroneously given as Prouse (Sable, three lions rampant argent), thus ignoring the plainly apparent bordure engrailed. No marriage between the Moore and Prouse families is known of.
  • 7:Walrond (Argent, three bull's heads cabossed sable) impaling Moore, for the marriage of John Walrond of Bradfield, Uffculme to Margaret Moore, a daughter of John Moore and Elizabeth Cliveden, and sister of Richard Moore (d.1516), Archdeacon of Exeter and Treasurer of Exeter Cathedral.(Vivian, p.572)
  • 8:Moore impaling Trowbridge (Or, over water proper a bridge triple-towered gules) (Per Vivian, p.738; Pole gives the blazon as: Argent, a bridge gules arched with a flag on the top (Pole, p.505)), representing the marriage of William Moore (d.1581) (4th son of John Moore and Elizabeth Cliveden and thus a brother of Richard Moore (d.1516), Archdeacon of Exeter and Treasurer of Exeter Cathedral.(Vivian, p.572)) to Dorothy Trobridge, a daughter of the Trobridge family of Trobridge near Crediton, Devon.
