A photographic copy, May 1870, of a pedigree of Sir Peter Mutton of Llannerch, chief justice of north Wales, showing also some of the descents of his second wife Ellen (née Williams), compiled on parchment in, or soon after, 1634/5 by Griffith Hughes.
The roll is an example of a target pedigree (style 7 in Michael Powell Siddons, Welsh Pedigree Rolls (Aberystwyth, 1996)). It includes sixty coats of arms around the circumference, representing the most distant ancestors, with a further twenty-one mostly impaled shields dispersed within the body of the pedigree. At the centre is the personal coat of arms, with twenty-seven quarterings, of Mutton Davies, grandson of Peter Mutton, together with two cartouches. The copy is monochrome and on a reduced scale and is assembled from two photographs; it can be discerned that the majority of the coats of arms on the original were fully painted.
