It seems to be more correct to blazon it like this: (1) St Ledger; (2) or, a chief indented azure (Butler, Earl of Ormond); (3) a lion rampant (Rochford) ; (4) Hankford ; (5) Stapledon ; (6) three pairs of pincers (Donet); above, a helmet with crest, on a wreath a falcon rising from a panache of ostrich feathers (Butler); supporters, dexter, a falcon ; sinister, a griffin.” * (*)- Cox, John Charles. Bench-ends in English churches. Oxford University Press: 1916. Page 88 [https://archive.org/details/b29828314/page/88/mode/2up Internet Archive] If so, it looks that these quarterly Arms belong to [[St_Leger-129|George St Leger (1474-)]]. "It is divided into six ‘quarters,’ five of which can be identified (left to right, top to bottom) *St. Leger *Butler *Uncertain, variously identified as Turberville or Rochford *Hankford *Stapledon *Donnet The Stapledons and the Hankfords had married centuries earlier, and the third quarter is impossible to identify with any certainty, but the remaining four quarters are enough to tell us that this coat of arms originally belonged to Sir George St. Leger, son of Sir James St. Leger. Sir George’s grandparents were St. Leger, Donnet, Butler, and Hankford, that is to say that he was the first member of the family in whom all of these branches were combined." ** (**)- [https://benchends.wordpress.com/2017/08/21/the-amorial-bench-ends-of-monkleigh/ The Amorial Bench Ends of Monkleigh] @[https://benchends.wordpress.com/ Tudor Bench Ends of the West Country] by [https://benchends.wordpress.com/about/ Dr E.T.
