It also contains the following handwritten words describing the crest. On the left side of the letter it says: "Supporters Two
Unicorns as are now born (sic) by Lord Plymouth". Right Side: "the bearings on the two last quarterings are broken, and cannot be made out". Underneath the drawing of the crest it says: "A well executed painting of these arms was discovered by removing the loose plaster from a wall in repairing the Old Manor House at Bentworth 10 Nov 1841. In the early part of the 14th century, the property belonged to Richard de Wyndsore, the ancestor of the present Earl of Plymouth. Through a marriage with the daughter and heiress of William de Bintworth and as the arms have not the Baronial helmet, and are without the Coronet, they must have been painted for one of the family between that period and before the first Lord Windsor was summoned to Parliament in 1529."
