Note du spécialiste

The arms are those of Bridges impaling Dalrymple, for Sir Henry Bridges Kt. (1786-1861), of Beddington House and Ewell Court, Surrey and his wife Frances (d. 1859), daughter of General William Tomes Dalrymple, whom he married in 1808. Sir Henry was High Sherriff of Surrey in 1813, the year he was knighted by the Prince Regent, later King George IV.
