What looks like a six pointed star is in fact a mullet (pronounced moullet) in heraldry and actually represents a knight's riding spur, although it should have a little circle at the centre which may have been left off because its in relief on the plaque. The symbol below of course is a crescent, which pointing upward hints at it belonging to a second son. The configuration of the two symbols is significant in whose coat-of-arms they are. I have found two possible candidates: Minshull family, or the De Clintons. Edward de Clinton was the first Earl of Lincoln appointed in 1143! Roger de Clinton, Bishop of Coventry (1129- 1148) founded Buildwas Abbey in Shropshire 1135 it was later given to the Knights Templar!!! I wonder whatever became of the Clintons :) Rod, I’ve been studying the symbols on the plaque, apart from the unmistakable Templar crosses, the two below reminded me of something I had seen in a book on heraldry.
