Eighteenth Century Carved and Polychrome Decorated Coat of Arms.
ENGLAND, Circa 1750
The framed, carved wood (probably lime) panel bearing the coat of arms for Sir Thomas (1744-1786) and Lady Fowke of Lowesby Hall, Leicestershire. Arma Tuentur Pacem translates as ‘Arms Maintain Peace’.
Lowesby Hall (see image) was first owned by the Wollaston family until the death of Sir Isaac Larence Wollaston, 3rd Baronet in 1756 and the estate passed to his two sisters, Sarah and Anne, the latter marrying Thomas Fowke on 12th August, 1772. The family estates were divided by Act in 1777, and Lowesby was apportioned to Lady Fowke. Thomas Fowke held the office of Groom of the Bedchamber to Duke of Cumberland and was knighted in 1779. He also held the office of Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant. The Fowke Baronetcy was created for Sir Frederick Gustavus Fowke, 1st Baronet (1782–1856) and continued into the 20th century.
