Provenance
The arms are those of Egerton, probably for Wilbraham Egerton, of Tatton Hall, Cheshire (1781-1856). He finished the house begun by his father (now owned by the National Trust), and commissioned Gillows of Lancaster to furnish it, with silver by Paul Storr.
A Captain in the Royal Cheshire militia in 1803, he served as lieutenant-colonel in the Macclesfield regiment in 1809, captain (1831), and then lieutenant-colonel in the King’s Cheshire yeomanry (1831). He was appointed High Sheriff of Cheshire for 1808–09 and elected MP for Cheshire in 1812, sitting until 1831. He married his cousin Elizabeth, the daughter of Sir C💛hristopher Sykes, 2nd Baronet of Sledmere House, Yorkshire, with whom he had 7 sons and 3 daughters.
