As I understand it, a man's shield could be quartered to display his
mother's arms on the sinister side if his mother were a heraldic heiress.
Since Katherine Stradling was not, I gather that one would not expect
to see the arms of her presumed father, Sir Edward Stradling, on the
shield of her presumed son, Sir Walter Dennis, or on Walter's memorial
brass in the chapel of Olveston Church, or among any of the heraldic
shields displayed on the wings of Siston Court.

Note that like everything else, these were typical practices, not rules, and I can
think of examples where the wife's/mother's arms were given precedence over the father's/husband's in both quartered and impaled arrangements (when Walter Blount married the Toledo noblewoman Sancha de Ayala, the exotic
Ayala arms were given precedence), and on occasion, other things were done
to represent the union, such as using an inescutcheon - a mini-shield placed overtop the paternal arms, or on a canton - a block placed in the top dexter corner - rather than impaling or quartering.
