About this piece
back to topA late 19th century heraldic stained glass hanging shield, handpainted with the Coat of Arms of Buckingham Town. The crest depicts a swan with crown around it’s neck and a golden chain – referred to as the Bohn Swan or Bucks Swan – before a foliate red and black background.
One of the earliest records of this Coat of Arms was at the Visitation of Buckinghamshire in 1566. The swan was an emblem of the ancient medieval noble family of De Bohn.
