rear gates at Ham House - a photo on Flickriver

            The gates that mark the rear limits of the grounds of Ham House (a 17th century stately home near Richmond, Surrey, England) are decorated with the motto of the Order of the Thistle: "Nemo Me Impune Lacessit" ("No one attacks me with impunity").

The coronet which sits on top of the main roundel is associated with the rank of Earl.  At the centre of the roundel are the heraldic arms of the Earls of Dysart, the title inherited by Elizabeth, Lady Dysart, from her father William Murray, 1st Earl of Dysart.

Ham House's connection to the Order of the Thistle is through the 1672 marriage of Elizabeth, Lady Dysart (who had inherited the house on the death of her husband) to John Maitland, Duke of Lauderdale and a member of the Order.
