專家說明

The arms are those of Parker impaling those of Poulett, for John Parker (1703-68) of North Molton, Devon, who married Catherine, daughter of John, 1st Earl Poulett, in 1725. John Parker succeeded his father, George, in 1743, and these casters were likely commissioned as part of the major refurbishment of the family residence, Saltram House, that took place between 1743 and 1749. Work on Saltram House continued under his son, also named John, who was elevated to the peerage as 1st Baron Boringdon in 1784.
