_Punning Devices_ (Vol. viii., p. 270.).--In the 4th volume of Surtees'
_History of Durham_, p. 48., there is an account of the Orchard Chamber in
Sledwish Hall:
"In the centre is a shield of the arms of Clopton; being two coats
quarterly, a lion rampant and a cross _pattee fitchee_; over all, a
crescent for difference.[1] On two other shields, impressed from one
mould, are the initials E. C., the date 1584, and a _tun_ with a rose
_clapt on_."[2]
