Full description
Brooking Rowe, J., 1877, The Cistercian Houses of Devon, part 5, 389 (Article in Serial). SDV136139.
The arms of Briwere, the founder of Dunkeswell Abbey, were two bends wavy. The common seal represents the blessed virgin with saints on either side all under canopies. Only one mutilated impression of this seal is extant. The seal is 76mm in length. Below the saint on the sinister side of the central figure is a shield with the de Briwere arms. An impression from an abbot's counter-seal is also preserved, vesica-shaped. The abbot is represented standing, holding his crozier in his right hand.
