Post-Medieval window glass
“Quarry” or diamond of glass showing a griffin.
“This is the coat of Morgan of Tredegar… The field of the coat is diapered, and the figure of the gryphon is very spirited; the glass may be of the fifteenth or sixteenth century. This quarry most likely represented the arms of the Llantarnam branch of the Morgans, which had considerable property in the town and neighbourhood of Caerleon, and possibly may, at some time, have been in possession of the castle.”
Octavius Morgan from: Isca Silurum or, An illustrated catalogue of the Museum of Antiquities at Caerleon by John Edward Lee. Caerleon (Wales). Museum of Antiquities; 1862.
