Catalogue Note
The arms are those of Marton of Capernwray impaling Dallas for George Marton (1801?-1867) of Capernwray Hall and Borwick Hall, Lancashire, who succeeded his uncle, Oliver Marton who died without issue in 1843. George Marton, who was MP for the Borough of Lancaster from 1837 to 1847 and High Sheriff of Lancashire in 1858, was married in November 1833 to Lucy Sarah (1813?-1873), daughter of the Rt. Hon Sir Robert Dallas, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. Following his death, it was said of Mr. Marton that, ‘By no man in the present or past generations, has that proudest of national characters ‘’The Fine Old English Gentleman’’ been more proudly sustained in all its glorious qualities than by him whose decease we have this week to record and whose loss we are left so deeply to mourn.’ (The Lancaster Gazette, Lancaster, Saturday, 30 November 1867, p. 4)
