Excerpt from Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine
One of the very few memorials now in England, which display only the Washington arms, is at Selby Abbey, in a clerestory window of the choir. The shield displays the correct tinc tures, a white field (argent), with two red bars and three pierced red mul lets (gules). Probably the window rep resents some benefaction made to the abbey by some distinguished member of the Washington family.
