Note du spécialiste

The arms are those of Antrobus, for Sir Edmund Antrobus, 1st Bt. (1752-1826) of Antrobus Hall, co. Chester, Amesbury, Wiltshire and Rutherford, Roxburghshire. Sir Edmund was both a Fellow of the Royal Society and of the Society of Antiquaries. The family had ancient roots in Cheshire. The family wealth was greatly increased by Edmund’s father Philip Antrobus (1720-1788) who founded cloth dying business in Congleton. Edmund moved to London and worked in Coutts Bank becoming a partner in 1777. He was created a baronet in 1815 with a special remainder to his nephews. He died unmarried in 1826 when his wealth was estimate to be £700,000, in the region of £40 million in today’s terms.
