The arms are those of Watson impaling Proby for Thomas Watson Wentworth (1665-1723), third son of Edward, 2nd Duke of Rockingham and his wife Alice, only daughter of Sir Thomas Proby, baronet, of Elton, Huntingdon. In 1695, Thomas Watson succeeded to the estates of his uncle, William Wentworth, 2nd Earl of Strafford, and assumed the additional surname of Wentworth. He served as M.P. for Higham Ferrars and Malton; his grandson, Charles Watson-Wentworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham, served two terms as Prime Minister of Great Britain.
