Marble effigy of Bishop Walter Langton, Lichfield Cathedral, long since separated from its elaborate chest tomb and Gothic canopyArms of Walter Langton, Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry: Or, a fess chequy gules and azure as tricked in a drawing by William Dugdale of a stained-glass image of the Bishop formerly in Lichfield Cathedral[1]
Walter Langton (died 1321) of Castle Ashby[2] in Northamptonshire, was Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield and King's Treasurer. The life of Langton was strongly influenced by his uncle William Langton (d. 1279), Archbishop of York-elect, by Robert Burnell, Lord Chancellor of England and then by the years in which he served King Edward I. Lichfield Cathedral was improved and enriched at his expense.[3]
^see File:WalterDeLangton Died1321 BishopOfCoventry&Lichfield AfterDugdale.png. The arms (apparently based on Dugdale's drawing) are blazoned slightly differently as Or, a fess compony azure and gules in Bedford, Blazons of Episcopacy, 1858, p.57, apparently based on Dugdale's depiction [1]
