Arms of Shirley, quarterly of 50. As seen at Ragdale Hall, Leicestershire (inherited from the Bassett family) "Over the entrance the Saracen's head still frowns above a large shield, with fifty quarterings, now partly gone to decay" (Stemmata Shirleiana, p.113[1]). (Source of drawing: Evelyn Philip Shirley, Stemmata Shirleiana, Annals of the Shirley Family, revised (second) edition, 1873, pp.135-7[2]). Part of the family pedigree produced by the antiquary and "Popish Recusant" Sir Thomas Shirley (1590-1654), Knight, of "Bottle Bridge / St Botolph's Bridge" (Botolphbridge, Orton Longueville, near Peterborough), Huntingdonshire, younger brother of Sir Henry Shirley, 2nd Baronet (1589–1633) of Staunton Harold, Leicestershire. "It remains only now to notice, in the catalogue of Sir Thomas Shirley's genealogical labours, the great family Pedigree drawn up under his direction, and finished in the year 1632. This magnificent family muniment, measuring 30 feet in length by 12 in breadth, is illustrated with drawings of tombs and a complete series of copies of antient deeds, the originals of some being no longer extant. At the end of the pedigree is a large shield with fifty quarterings" (Stemmata Shirleiana, p.135). Sir Thomas Shirley (who referred to himself by the Greek name "Thomastos Cololeimon Philopatron") was the author of "The Catholique Armourist," (collection of Queen's College, Oxford) "a singular attempt to unite the science of heraldry with the peculiar doctrines of the Church of Rome", and "from the general tenour of his writings elsewhere, it appears that Sir Thomas was not only an Antiquary, but a violent and bigoted Roman Catholic, and from his own account be suffered in consequence " losses, dishonours, disgraces pecuniary, (which were very great,) and imprisonment for the love of God". Sir Thomas Shirley, knighted at Whitehall, married Mary Harpur, daughter of Thomas Harpur of Rushall, in the county of Stafford, esq. he had a numerous issue (viz. Henry, born before 1629, George, John, Francis, Thomas, Mary, and Anne,) "but little has been preserved concerning them. Their fates have merged in the oblivion which attends the ruined fortunes of this branch of the house of Shirley". (Stemmata Shirleiana, p.121). Bottle-Bridge
