English School (19th Century) An Armorial Hatchment, with the Coat of Arms of John Berkeley Monck of Coley Park, Berkshire, oil on canvas, 100 x 100ccm. The present hatchment is that of John Berkeley Monck, MP, of Coley Park, Reading, Berkshire, barrister-at-law (1769-1834). He married Mary, daughter of William Stephens of Bentworth Lodge, Alton, Hampshire, in 1810. The hatchment shows the arms of John Berkeley Monck, with the dexter side impaling the arms of his wife Mary Stephens on the sinister side. The black background on the left indicates that the hatchment is for Mr Monck with the white background on his widow's side. A hatchment is a funeral or armorial shield enclosed in a black lozenge-shaped frame, which used to be suspended against the wall of a deceased person's house. It was usually placed over the entrance at the level of the second floor, and remained for six to twelve months, after which it was removed to the parish church. Many hatchments from former times remain in parish churches. At the top of the present example is a wyvern, a legendary winged reptilian creature often found in medieval heraldry
