The arms are those of Ralph Bigland (d. 1784) and his two wives, Ann Wilkins (m. 1737) and Ann Weir. The inscription "DEUT 8th 7-8-9-10" refers to the passage in Deuteronomy beginning "For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land"; verse 8, "A land of wheat, and barley, and vines..", contains a punning allusion to Bigland's name as bigg is a Scottish and northern English variety of barley.
