專家說明

The arms are those of Atkins, almost certainly for Abraham Atkins of Clapham (d.1742). He traded in the stock of the South Sea and East India Companies amassing a considerable fortune. Born in Southwark he moved to the fashionable village of Clapham. His son established himself as a member of the landed gentry buying the Kingston Lisle Estate in Berkshire.
