Brief Description of Subject: A vertically bisected shield stands alone. The left half of the shield has a background of blue with a dark-gold chevron in the center, and there are three gold in-painted lion heads displayed in the foreground. The right half of the shield is split into quarters – two having red and white diagonal stripes, and the other two each having a single, white, in-painted diagonal stripe over alternating red and dark-gold small squares.
Heraldic significance:
Blue symbolizes steadfastness, strength, truth, and loyalty. Gold symbolizes elevated thought and understanding, respect, virtue, majesty, and generosity. Red symbolizes warriors or martyrs, military strength, and eagerness to serve one’s country. White symbolizes cleanliness, wisdom, innocence, peace, sincerity, and joy. The shield in this panel represents the arms of Margery Clifton, wife of John Wyndham.

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.
All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.
If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
