Re: Livery buttons

Thanks John, but both the baron and the baroness were called Frances so to ensure you know which one had this button made we need to know what is written on the reverse side so that it can be dated :g50:

Re: Livery buttons

Thanks OGJ, a nice piece of local history. Could you please say what is written on the reverse so that we can establish whether it is for the Baron (died 1835) or the later Baroness (titled from 1835-55), who I feel is the more likely due to the style of the button and the dates of when they were al...

Re: Man set to miss out on £1 million hoard reward

I severely doubt that the valuation will be anywhere near the amount quoted, it will be in the tens of thousands rather than the hundreds of thousands at best :g58: :g58: :g58:

Re: Livery buttons

Looks like a livery button due to the torse (rope like feature) at the base of the crest. I can find plenty of castles with four towers but none with domed tops with crosses on. Stafford has a similar crest but it uses pennants rather than crosses. More researching required :g43:
