Excerpt from The Visitation of the County Palatine of Lancaster, Made in the Year 1567

HE heraldic Visitation of the county palatine of Lancaster in the year 1567 - thirty-four years after the last similar visitation - was undertaken by William Flower, esq., the Norroy king of arms, ' and, contrary to the usual method, was written in the narrative form. The original ms. Is preserved in the Heralds' college, but a carefully written transcript of it is in the British museum 2 The latter is in the handwriting of Robert Glover, esq., who at the age of twenty-four was appointed Portcullis, and immediately accompanied Nor roy as his marshal or deputy into Lancashire; and it has sometimes been described as Glover's Visitation.
