About the book >.>.> Hatchments in Britain 7: Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Gloucestershire is a detailed survey that explores the significance of hatchments across several English counties. Authored by Peter Summers and John Titterton, this volume is part of a broader initiative aimed at documenting these heraldic symbols in a comprehensive manner, addressing a notable gap in national records. Hatchments are not only visually striking; they hold great value for heralds, genealogists, and local historians as they capture the lineage and heritage of families.The authors recognise that the survey will likely never be exhaustive. New hatchments may emerge in unexpected locations, such as locked cupboards or lesser-known chambers. The challenges of accurately identifying these heraldic devices are discussed, noting that they are often located in high, dimly-lit areas where their details may have faded or become obscured. The complexity of matching arms to specific families is also acknowledged, especially when documented genealogies are absent.In beginning this survey in 1952, the authors have uncovered many hatchments previously overlooked, potentially lost during Victorian restorations. This work not only preserves the visual and historical significance of these records but also underscores their importance in understanding local heritage. By contributing to the knowledge surrounding hatchments, this volume invites readers and researchers alike to appreciate the depth and richness of Britain's heraldic tradition, fostering a greater awareness of the stories encapsulated within these often-forgotten symbols. …
