Lot Essay

The arms are those of Scott of Great Barr, co Stafford, presumably for Joseph Scott (1752-1818) who was high Sheriff of Staffordshire in 1779, M.P. for Worcester from 1802-1806 and was created a baronet in 1806. In 1777 he married his cousin Margaret, daughter and co-heir of Edward Whitby, Esq. of Shut End, co Stafford.
