Possibilities for Identification:
These are not the arms of William Bourne, the mathematician, portreeve and innholder of Gravesend, who died in 1583. The second and third quarters seem to be the arms of Beauchatt. The crest would also seem to be that of Beauchatt. It is possible that the unidentified and Beauchatt quarters are reversed, making the owner of this stamp W. Beauchatt.
Papworth lists 27 instances of the 1st quarter, but only one, Boffrey, begins with B.
