Bloxam considered that three of these helmets were parts of the achievements of (1) William Parr, Marquess of Northampton, ob. 1571; (2) Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, ob. 1588; (3) Ambrose Dudley, Earl of Warwick, ob. 1589. Dugdale has written: "On the north side of the quire towards the upper end lyeth interred William Parr, Marquess of Northampton, as by his Atchievements, viz. Coat of arms, Sword, Shield, Helme and Crest, which I have seen there hanging, appeareth" (ed. 1765, p. 320).
