Footnote
Note:
The family of Juckes with these arms is recorded as quartering the arms of Clifton (not shown on this shield) for which family a baronetcy was created in 1611.
The 8th Baronet, Sir Juckes-Granville Clifton, assumed the additional surname of Juckes died in 1852; the baronetcy became extinct with the death of his son in 1869. This seal would have been made for a close relative (although not a Clifton descendant)
