Scope and content
'A Yorkshire Armorial' by Thomas Stockton Gowland, FSA, consisting mostly of arms of Yorkshire families; compiled 1971-4 (dates of prefaces). The present compilation is based (see Preface to Vol. I) on a larger collection of Yorkshire arms, including ecclesiastical and municipal arms (now owned by the Yorkshire Archaeological Society, Leeds). The sources were mostly, but not exclusively, printed visitations and standard reference books. Consists of coloured drawings of arms, with identifications, a few ink and wash drawings of houses, etc., and maps.
The preface mentions difficulties in drawing the crests (see also letter from the compiler, 21 Apr. 1975, tipped in). Prefaces and indexes in each volume. A.J., 64 (1984), 617-18 (obituary).
