Tracery. The arms and crest are similar to Michell of Harlyn (arms: sable an escallop between three griffins’ heads or erased gules, crest: a pegasus flying (), but the ancestry of the Michells commemorated in this window has been traced back to John Michell of the Truro Michell family, whose arms are sable an escallop between three birds’ heads erased or () and also listed by Burke op cit. The heads clearly have large ears, making them much more likely to be griffins than birds, so perhaps the arms of the wrong branch of the Michell family were used in this window.
