The arms are those of Greville with those of Maynard on an escutcheon of pretence, as borne by Francis Richard Greville, born in 1853, who succeeded his father as Earl Brooke of Warwick Castle and Earl of Warwick in 1893. He married in 1881 Frances Evelyn, eldest daughter of heiress of the last Viscount Maynard. A famous race horse owner, she was also in her later years a militant socialist.
