Summary
| Description |
English: Heraldic overmantle, above fireplace of great hall, Blagdon manor house, near Paignton, Devon. (Tinctures of Giuse arms restored incorrectly) The eldest son of Mary Kirkham, heiress of Blagdon, and her husband Sir George Blount, 2nd Baronet (died 1667) was Sir Walter Kirkham Blount, 3rd Baronet (died 1717), who inherited his paternal estates, including Sodington. Her 3rd son was Edward Blount (d.1726) of Blagdon, who inherited his maternal estates. In 1708 Edward Blount married Anne Guise, a daughter of Sir John Guise, 2nd Baronet (c. 1654–1695) of Elmore in Gloucestershire, which marriage was commemorated by the surviving heraldic overmantel above the fireplace of the great hall of Blagdon manor house. This shows the initials "EB" [1] and displays the arms of Blount (Barry nebuly of six or and sable) impaling Gules, seven mascles vair 3,3,1 (Guise) above a scroll inscribed with a Latin motto Lux Tua Via Mea ("Your light is my path") with the date "1708".
In 1727 Edward Blount's 2nd daughter Maria Blount (1701/2-1773)[2] married Edward Howard, 9th Duke of Norfolk (1686-1777), but produced no progeny and heirs to the dukedom.[3] In 1739 her eldest sister Henrietta Blount (d.1782) married (as her second husband) the 9th Duke's younger brother Philip Howard (d.1749/50), by whom she had one daughter Anne Howard (born 1742) (wife of Robert Edward, Lord Petre), who was excluded from inheriting the Dukedom of Norfolk (the premier dukedom of England) by a recent entail effected by the Act of Restoration 1664. |
