The arms are those of Richard Stacpoole, 2nd Comte de Stacpoole, b. London 16 Aug. 1797, d. Lynhurts 7 July 1848. The son of George, 1st Comte de Stacpoole, he succeeded to that title in 1824 and was awarded half of his father's estate by the French courts.  In 1826 he was created Marchese Stacpoole by Pope Leo XII "for services to the church", and in 1831 Duce Stacpoole by Pope Gregory XVI.  He spent £40,000 to rebuild St. Paul's without the Walls, repaired the main bridge over the Tiber, and restored fountains out of commission since the Napoleonic occupation.  In addition to Rome, he lived at Montingny, Lecoup, France and Glasshayes, Lyndhurst, Hants.
