Summary

Description Overmantle circa 1750, in former town house of Courtenays of Powderham, now home of the Devon and Exeter Institution, 7 Cathedral Close, Exeter. The left hand painted panel shows the arms of William Courtenay, 1st Viscount Courtenay (1711-1762) impaling the arms of Finch, the family of his wife. The sinister supporter is one of the Finch heraldic griffons, the dexter one is the Courtenay boar. The Courtenay motto is shown underneath: Ubi lapsus quid feci. The panel on the right shows the arms of Bishop Peter Courtenay (1432–1492), Bishop of Exeter and Winchester. His arms (the courtenay arms with each point of the label charged with three plates for difference) are impaled by the arms of the See of Winchester. The whole is circumscribed by the Garter. The supporters are: dexter, the Courtenay dolphin, sinister the Courtenay boar. The motto beneath is: Quod verum lutum.
