The coat of arms on the right was Sir Christopher Baynham's (b. 1478 & died 1557)and signifies he was the second son - we know that he was the son of Thomas Baynham/ap Eynon.
The three bulls heads in the dexter chief (top left hand indicate his father's coat of arms and the crescent indicates the 2nd son).
The next section indicates his mother's family arms that of Walwyn (the greyhound and the pears or drops). The six crosses are those of Grendour.
Baynham Coats of Arms
This coat of arms was granted 2 November 1631 as "gules on a chevron between three bull's heads caboshed argent an estoile sable" Crest: Out of a mural crown gules a bulls head couped argent (College of Arms MS EDN57/23 and Misc Grants ii/14).
There is a small pedigree recorded with the Misc Grant with Christopher Baynham of Gloucester, father of Richard Baynham, father of Robert Baynham though it is not stated who the grantee was.
The reproduction does not have the mural crown.
This represents the 8th son of a Baynham.
A Grant of Arms was made to William Baynham of Grove in the County of Hereford dated 1588 (College of Arms MS: Misc Grants 1/129b) "vert a cross or" Crest a beaver proper".
This is the coat of arms of Thomas/ap Eynon .
Estoile
Mural Crown
A Grant of Arms was made to Richard Baynham , Bishop of Tavistock (College of Arms Ms: 2G4/5b) in the time of Henry the Eight (1509 - 1547). The arms are:
Gules a mace in bend sinister surmounted by a pastoral staff in bend dexter or on a chief argent three pierced mullets of five points sable.(No crest)
The Herald's Visitation of Gloucester in 1531 (College of Arms Ms: H20/39) there is a trick (pen and ink sketch with colours indicated) of the a coats of arms and crest with the name Baynham and the word Gloucestershire written on the page.
Arms: 1st Quarter - Gules a chevron between three bull's heads argent horned or with a crescent on the chevron
2nd Quarter - Gules on a bend ermine a greyhound sable
3rd Quarter - Vert six pears or.
4th Quarter - or a fess between six cross crosslet gules
Crest - A lamb statnt sable legs and ears gules the body semee of estoiles or.
The 2nd Quarter is that of the family Walwyn and the third and 4th are those of Grendour.
We can safetly state that this is the arms of Sir Christopher Baynham, however they are at odds with the coat of arms in the Visitation of Gloucestershire dated 1569?.
There is some further discrepency from a number of sources about Sir Christopher's arms in Suffolk Crests Dictionary (Corder) as follows:
1. "A best lyke a woulf' sable semy of stars or eared and legged gules 'his fete cloven lyke a hogge' - Baynham - Walls Book.
2. 'to his crest a beast lyke a wolff sa/full of stars or/his eyres and legs g/his fete cloven like a hogge/ Sr Crystofer Baynam' - Baynham/Baynam MS Alphabet of Crests fo. 9.
3. In Banners and Standards 154 Sir Christopher Baynham's crest is drawn and described as having a lamb's head and tail.
Note that on a coat of arms which is quartered the 1st quarter is showing the fathers arms and the second quarter and following the arms of the the mother but she must have been an heiress and the ones that follow are also females brought into the family who were heiresses.
