Catalogue Note
The arms are those of Liddell of Ravensworth Castle, Durham, and Eslington Park, Northumberland, with Simpson in pretence for Sir Thomas Henry Liddell, 6th Bt (1775-1855) who succeeded to the title upon the death of his father in 1791. He married on 27 April 1796 Maria Susannah (d. 1845), daughter and coheir of John Simpson of Bradley Hall, Durham, by Anne, daughter of Thomas Lyon, 8th Earl of Strathmore. Sir Thomas Henry was elevated to the peerage as Baron Ravensworth on 17 July 1821. High Sheriff for Northumberland in 1804, he was Tory MP for County Durham between 1806 and 1807. The family's wealth was largely derived from coal mining interests.
