and painted during the 17th century and
now preserved at Poundisford Park.
The arms probably formed part of a
chimney-piece at Orchard House, and
stress the family's medieval ancestry.
The fleur-de-lis of the Portmans and the
three pears of the de Orchards are
quartered with the arms of Crosse,
Maningford, Trivett and Gilbert. The red
hand of O'Neil is the distinguishing mark
of the baronetcy held by the family from
1611 to 1690.
