專家說明

The arms are those of Leveson-Gower, for John, 1st Earl Gower (1694-1754). He served as Lord Privy Seal from 1742 to 1754, and was made one of the Lords Justices during the King's absence abroad. While George II was in Hanover, Gower raised a regiment in the King's name against the Jacobite uprising of 1745. In recognition he was elevated to the Peerage of Great Britain in 1746.
