English: Arms of George Manners (1758-1823), MP for Great Bedwyn and Cambridge, on the south porch gable of St Mary's parish church, Bloxholm, Lincolnshire. He was the eldest son of Lord Robert Manners, M.P. for Kingston-upon-Hull, 8th son of John Manners, 2nd Duke of Rutland[1].
Listed building text[2]: "Church of St Mary (parish church). c1300, C15, remodelled 1812 for George Manners of Bloxholm Hall.... The porch has diagonal buttresses with set offs, a moulded plinth, moulded eaves band and a parapet. The unusual 4 centred arched opening has a roll moulded arch, with above the coat of arms of George Manners, dated 1813 in Coade stone".
Heraldry: Manners, with peacock crest of Manners above, with inescutcheon of pretence of Three martlets on a bend (neither Mansel nor Goodchild, per Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884). As George Manners was unmarried, it is unclear why he displayed an inescutcheon of pretence, reserved for heiress wives. He had a mistress named Mary Ann Mansel otherwise Goodchild, by whom he had several children, all with the surname Mansel, whom he provided for in his will. (source: [3])
