The arms are those of Fane with Child in pretence for John, 10th Earl of Westmorland (1759-1841) and Sarah, only daughter and heir of Robert Child of Osterley Park, Middlesex, whom he married in 1782. They were married at Gretna Green, after an exciting elopement as her father was following in hot pursuit trying to prevent the marriage. He was however unsuccessful. The couple were again married at Apethorpe on 7th June, 1782, but Child never forgave the Earl and settled his estate on the Earl's female heirs.
