Note du spécialiste

The coat-of-arms are those of Naylor, almost certainly for John Leighton (1813-1889), of Leighton Hall, County Montgomery. The estate was a wedding present to John Naylor from his uncle, the Liverpool banker Christopher Leyland. The house was rebuilt in the 1850s, with the interiors by Augustus Pugin’s designs and furnishings by Crace and Sons.
