The arms are those of Henry, 8th Lord Paget of Beaudesert ( c.1663-1743), husband of Mary, daughter and heir of Thomas Catesby of Whiston and Ecton, Northamptonshire. He succeeded his father in 1713 and was created as one of the 14 peerages granted for the coronation of George I in 1714. He was a Lord of the Treasury 1710-11, Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard 1711-15 and a Privy Councillor. In 1714 he was appointed Envoy Extraordinary to Hanover but 'refused to go till he was made an earl.' The Queen said he should be, when he returned. He was angry and did not go and was made by George I an earl (Lord Oxford and Mortimer’s Memoranda on the Peerage, N & Q, 2nd Ser., vol.i, p.326.) In September 1714 he resigned from all offices.
