The National Monuments Service's description
A fragment of an armorial plaque (H 0.6m; Wth 0.4m) is set into the inner face of the W wall of the cloister at the College. It has a small shield or buckler with the Fleming arms placed at an angle beneath a small helmet that has a mortar belching fire on its crest (Trench 1976, 42). It may have been a supporter for the Royal arms (ME019-060013-) now over the doorway in the S range.
