as Robarts, with eight quarterings.
Similar arms are the wall of Lanhydrock House, the home of the Robartes family, and in the dedication of Joel Gascoyne’s map of Cornwall to Charles Bodville, Earl of Radnor, except that in the latter, the arms of Robartes in position 9 are replaced with what may be the arms of Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick, gules, a chevron between three crosses botonnée or () whose daughter Lucy married John Roberts, 2nd Baron Truro (). In both of these the arms in position 7 are lozengy, or similar, which suggests that the representation in this window may be inaccurate.
