Explanation of a Carving on the Wainscot, over a Chimney Piece, at Speke Hall, in the County of Lancaster, formerly the Residence of the Norris family, from whom it descended to the late Topham Beauclerk, Esq. whose Son, the present Mr, Beauclerk, sold it to the late Richard Watt, Esq.

The Carving (Pl. III.) represents the pedigree of the Norris family for three generations, as may be collected from an inscription painted on canvas, and inserted in the compartments of the frieze, but now in a great measure effaced.
