Summary
The arms throughout are very neatly tricked. The pedigrees of the families entered in the visitation of 1583 are for the most part simply continued from that year to 1614; but there are many besides which are not found at all in the earlier book. At the end are various Staffordshire coats, separately tricked, with a few monumental inscriptions from churches in the county.
