Helen Clifford, Silver in London: The Parker and Wakelin Partnership 1760-1776, pp. 141-42, explores the patronage of the Milbanke family and the related families of the Noels and Lambs (later Viscounts Melbourne).
The arms are those of Milbanke with Hedworth in pretense for Sir Ralph Milbanke, 5th Baronet of Halnaby, Yorkshire, MP for Scarborough 1754-61 and Richmond 1761-68, who in 1748 married Elizabeth, daughter and co-heir of John Hedworth, MP for Chester-le-Street, co. Dunham. She died on 1767 and he on 1793. His granddaughter Anna Isabella, baroness Wentworth, married George, Lord Byron the poet, in 1815.
