The crest is that of Thorold. Sir George Thorold of Harmston, Lincolnshire, Knt., was the 4th son of Charles Thorold of Harmston and was created by a baronet September 9, 1709. He was Sheriff of London 1710-11 and Lord Mayor 1719-20. He married in 1713 Elizabeth, daughter of Sir James Rushout, 1st baronet, and died without issue in 1722. His widow subsequently became the second wife of George, 4th Earl of Northampton, and died 1750. The Earl's second daughter by his first wife married, in 1729, Sir John Rushout, 4th Bt., through whom the Thorold plate presumably came to Northwick Park, where it remained until sold by Christie's in 1965.
