'St. John's Chapel'
A colourwashed drawing of the Royal coat of Arms of Great Britain, 1714-1800 supported on a plinth with a scalloped and tassled drape below. The coat of arms pre-dates the Act of Union with Ireland in 1801. Between 1714 and 1800 the Coat of Arms included the Arms of England and Scotland impaled in the first quarter, France in the second quarter and Ireland the third. When George, Elector of Hanover, became King of England in 1714 the fourth quarter was changed to reflect the new King's domains in Hanover (Brunswick–Lüneburg, surmounted by the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire for the Holy Roman office of Archbannerbearer/Archtreasurer).
