Sir Thomas Baker, Skerton House, Old TraffordIn the forefront of the plate's image there is a large shield, with an flanchi on either side, featuring a spur in the middle. At the center, against an azure field, is gorged lion rampant. Above the shield, over a torse, are two arms clad in armor, holding a sort of spear. To the left of the shield is a knight's helmet. Below is the motto Ex Monte Alto. This design leans against a broken but leafed tree. In the background, at the end of a path, is a large three-story house in a somewhat wooded area.still image
