Summary

Description
English: Canterbury Cathedral - Christchurch Gate, Buttermarket. Shields restored since 1827 when some were described by Willement as "obliterated" . "Cathedral records indicate the gate was built between 1504 and 1521 with funds provided by Priors Goldstone and Goldwell. This is despite the inscription of 1507 (sic) on the stonework “Hoc Opus constructum est anno domini millensimo quingentensimo decimo septimo” (1517)- a matter of ongoing dispute between historians" (http://www.canterbury-archaeology.org.uk/ccgate/4590809464). Per: Willement, Thomas, Heraldic Notices of Canterbury Cathedral, 1827, p.1[1]: Arms: left to right:
  • 1: Arms of the See of Canterbury
  • 2: Quarterly of 4: 1&4: Or, a saltire between four martlets sable (Guldeford); 2&3: Argent, a chief sable overall a bend engrailed gules (Halden); Sir Henry Guldeford, K. 6. Comptroller of the Household to King Henry the Eighth, son of Sir Richard Guldeford, by his second wife, Joane Vaux. He distinguished himself in the Spanish wars against the Moors, and particularly upon the reduction of Grenada; in consequence of which the canton with the pomegranate was placed as an augmentation to his family arms ; the pomegranate being the arms of that kingdom. Henry the Eighth, in the sixteenth year of his reign, granted to him the manor of Hadloe, in this county.
  • 3: Argent, three Catherine Wheels sable a bordure engrailed gules. Restored. (Scott of Scot's hall, Kent. Sir John Scott (d.1485), Sheriff of Kent in 1460, Comptroller of the Household to King Edward IV.). Willement, 1827: "MS. No. 162, in Bib. Soc Antiq. Lond. tells us that this shield contained formerly the arms of Scot; Argent, three Catherine wheels, sable, a bordure engrailed, gules".
  • 4: Vert, a chevron between three eagles displayed or (John Fineux, Lord Chief Justice from 1496 to 1526)
  • 5: Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, Lord Treasurer and Earl Marshal. Quarterly of six; Restored. Willement, 1827: "The three obliterated quarters were, most probably, Mowbray, Gules, a lion rampant, argent; Fitzalan, Gules, a lion rampant, or- and Dacres, Gules, three escallops, two and one, argent"
  • 6: Royal arms with label of three points argent w:Henry, Duke of Cornwall (?) (1511-1511), who lived only 52 days, eldest son of King Henry VIII (whose arms appear at centre) by his first wife Katherine of Aragon (whose arms also appear).
At far right is a Beaufort Portcullis, thus the date must be post 1485, the year of the accession of King Henry VII.
