The inscription reads 'BOUGHT WITH LEGACY BEQUEATHED TO JOHN HEATHCOTE ESQ.r BY SHUCKBURGH ASHBY APREECE ESQ.r'. Shuckburgh Ashby Apreece (1773–1807) was the son of Sir Thomas Hussey Apreece (1744-1833), 1st Baronet of Apreece of Washingley in the County of Huntingdon. Shuckburgh Ashby Apreece married Jane Kerr (1780-1855) who was a British heiress and socialite who, after Apreece's death, married Sir Humphry Davy, a British chemist and inventor.



The arms are those of Heathcote quartering Moyer impaling Thornhill, for John Heathcote M.P. (1767–1838), of Conington Castle, co. Huntingdon and his wife Mary Anne Thornhill (d.1854), the daughter of George Thornhill, whom he married in 1799. The sum of £100 was bequeathed to John Heathcote in grateful thanks by Shuckburgh Ashby Apreece (1773–1807) for his role as an executor of the latter's will proved on the 13 February 1808.
