Note du spécialiste

The arms are those of Carrington, for Robert Smith, 1st Baron Carrington (1752-1838) of Bulcot, Burton-Joyce, Nottinghamshire, and Banker of London

Anglo-Irish writer Maria Edgeworth (1767-1849) described him as "most amiable and benevolent, without any species of pretension, thinking the best that can be thought of everything and everybody."
