The arms belong to the distinguished Fellowes family, quartering Benyon, and commemorate William Henry Fellowes, Esq. (1769-1837) of Ramsey Abbey, Huntingdon, Member of Parliament for Haverland, and his wife, Emma, the fourth daughter of Richard Benyon, Esq., of Englefield House, Berkshire, whom he married in 1805. He commissioned John Soane to alter and enlarge the family house and its entrance at Ramsey.
Their legacy continued notably through their second son, Edward, who was later elevated to Baron de Ramsey, and their third son, who in 1854 adopted the surname Benyon by royal license, inheriting the estates of his maternal uncle, Richard Benyon de Beauvoir of Englefield House, Berkshire.
