These pelmets were probably designed by George Wyatt, who carried out alterations at Twizell House, Northumberland for Prideaux John Selby, circa 1812. Selby is best known for his Illustrations of British Ornithology (1821–1834), the first set of life-sized illustrations of British birds. He also wrote Illustrations of Ornithology with William Jardine and A History of British Forest-trees (1842).
