Catalogue Note
The arms are those of Acland quartering Wroth with Dyke in pretence for Sir Thomas Acland, 3rd Bt of Killerton and Petherton, who was born about 1723. He succeeded to the baronetcy upon the death of his father in 1728 and married on 7 January 1745 at Kingston, Somerset, Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Thomas Dyke of Tetton. On that occasion he assumed the name of Dyke before that of Acland. He was MP for Devon, 1746/47, for Somerset, 1767/68 and High Sheriff of Somerset in 1751. He died at Bath in 1785.
