Lot Essay

The crest (a greyhound sejant or, collared azure, resting the dexter foot on a mascle argent) is for the Norcliffe family of Langton Hall, Yorkshire. The crest is most probably for Major General Norcliffe Norcliffe (1791-1862 ), who inherited the house and estate of Langton Hall on the death of his father Colonel Thomas Norcliffe (previously Dalton), in 1820.
