Catalogue Note
The arms are those of Pelham impaling Aufrère for Charles Anderson Pelham, later 1st Baron Yarborough, who married Sophia (d. 1786), only daughter and eventual heiress of George Aufrère Esq of Chelsea, whom he married in 1770. Pelham, who was born on 3 February 1749, was the only son and heir of Francis Anderson (1711-1758) of Manby, Lincolnshire. He assumed the surname and arms of Pelham upon succeeding to the estate of his great uncle, Charles Pelham (d. 1763) of Brocklesby, Lincolnshire.
