Arms of Yonge impaling Hichens, i.e., the marriage of Walter Yonge and Cecilia Hichens, two of the dedicatees of the window, on a small brass plaque just below it. The arms of Yonge of Colebrooke are per fess sable and argent, three lions rampant guardant counterchanged (, diagram). The arms of Hitchins are argent a cross flory, quarterly gules and azure between four lions’ heads erased sable (). The arms of Hichins of Cornwall are argent a cross formée quarterly, quartered azure and gules between four lions’ heads erased sable, langued of the second (). The arms of Hechins of Hole are argent a cross patonce quarterly gules and azure, between four lions’ heads erased sable (). Below the arms is the motto of Yonge, Qualis vita, finis ita (As life is, so will its end be) ().
The arms of Hechins of Hole appear twice on the Hechins monument in St Stephens-by-Saltash, once impaling Denham (the marriage of William Hechins and Frances Denham) and once impaled by Woodham (the marriage of George Woodham and Dorothy Hechins). Both these marriages are shown in the Hechins pedigree in Vivian. Porter () describes these arms as Hitchens impaling Dinham and Wadham impaling Hitchens.
