From: Tony Wilmott, Apethorpe Hall, Northamptonshire the Heraldic Decoration, 2009[4]: Quartered arms of William Parr, 1st Earl of Northampton (d. 1571), brother of Queen Katherine Parr. His quarterings appear on his Garter stall plate, and were probably those that appeared here: Quarterly of ten: (1) argent, two bars azure within a bordure engrailed sable (Parr), (2) or, three water boudgets sable (Roos), (3) azure, three stags trippant or (Greene), (4) gules, a chevron between three crosses crosslet, in chief a lion passant guardant or (Mablethorpe), (5) azure, three chevronels braced in base, and a chief or (Fitzhugh), (6) vair, a fess gules (Marmion), (7) or, three chevronels gules, a chief vair (St Quentyn), (8) gules, a bend between three crosses crosslet or (Forneux), 9) barry argent and gules, a fleur de lis sable (Staveley), (10) barry or and azure, ann eagle displayed gules (Garnegan)

Gregory Fiennes, Baron Dacre of the South (d.1594) displayed many of these quarterings: Dacre, Multon, Vaux, Morville, Fitzhugh, Stavely, Furneaux, Grey, Marmion, St. Quentin and Gernegan. Lord Dacre had no children, but his heraldry survives in the Arms of Emanuel School in Clapham[5] founded by his widow. (https://heraldictimes.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/elaboration-of-coats-of-arms/)
