Coat of Arms: Samuelson with a label of difference for the eldest son impaling Goodden. They refer to Sir Henry Bernhard Samuelson, 2nd Baronet (1845-1937) and were used in this format prior to the death of his father in 1905, when he would have dropped the label of difference and would then have used Baronet's 'hand' instead.
Sir Henry Bernhard Samuelson was an English Liberal Party politician who sat in the House of Commons in two periods between 1868 and 1885. In 1874 he married Emily Maria Goodden, daughter of John Goodden of Compton House, Dorset and the sister of the great grandfather of the present owner.
