The arms are those of Broughton impaling another, probably Wicker, for the Rev. Sir Thomas Broughton, 6^th Bt. (1744/49-1813), second son of Sir Brian Broughton-Delves, 4^th Bt. (1678?-1724), who succeeded to the title upon the death of his childless elder brother, Sir Brian Broughton-Delves, 5^th Bt., on 16 January 1766. Sir Thomas then assumed the surname of Broughton only before marrying as his first wife on 31 March 1766, Maria, daughter and heir of John Wicker of Horsham, Sussex. Lady Broughton died on 9 June 1785, two days after the birth of a still-born child. Of her 13 other children, her eldest son, General Sir John Delves Broughton (1769-1847), succeeded as 7^th Bt. upon the death of his father at Doddington Hall, Cheshire, on 23 July 1813.
