_Atchievement in Yorkshire--Lipyeatt Family._--Found and noted in a
Yorkshire church tower, an atchievement painted apparently about forty or
fifty years ago, of which no account can be given by the sexton or parish
clerk. Query, to what names do the bearings belong? viz. Vert, on a fess
or, between three bezants, three lions passant azure. Impaling: Vert, three
swans in tri, statant, wings erect, argent. Crest, a lion passant azure,
langued gules. The swans have head, neck, and body like swans, but their
legs appear to have been borrowed from the stork. It is suspected that the
dexter coat belongs to one of the Wiltshire Lipyeatts.
Is there any pedigree of the Lipyeatt family, who were burghers of wealth
and consideration in the town of Marlborough, from the middle of the
seventeenth century down to the latter part of the eighteenth?
