The arms are those of Sayer impaling Talbot, likely commemorating the marriage of Exton Sayer and his wife Catherine Talbot in 1705. Catherine was the daughter of William Talbot (1658 - 1730), Bishop of Oxford and later Durham. In the 1720s Exton Sayer served as a member of Parliament before losing his life in riding accident in 1731. See D.S. Howard, op. cit., p. 164-165 for a discussion of this service and family. Also compare the charger with almost identical decoration and bearing the coat-of-arms and crest of Exton's father in law, William Talbot, Bishop of Durham, in the collection of the British Museum, London (Museum No. Franks.734.+).
