Catalogue Note
The arms are those of St. Aubyn of Clowance, Cornwall, probably for Sir John St. Aubyn, 4th Bt. (1726-1772), who succeeded to the title upon the death of his father in 1744. Educated at Oriel College, Cambridge, he was MP for Launceston from 1747 to 1754 and again in 1758/59, and MP for Cornwall from 1761 until his death. Sir John was married on 4 June 1756 at St. James’s, Piccadilly, to Elizabeth, daughter of William Wingfield of Washington, Durham, by Anne, daughter of Sir William Williamson, 4th Bt. Sir John’s widow married as her second husband on 5 October 1782 at her house in Bond Street John Baker of Orsett, Essex, and died in 1796.
