Title

Salver with arms of Jodrell, dated 1738/39, thus probably made for Paul Jodrell (c.1715-1751), of Duffield, Derbyshire, MP for Old Sarum in 1751, was the eldest son of Paul Jodrell (d.1744) of Duffield, by his wife Judith Sheldon; he was Solicitor-General to Frederick, Prince of Wales. In 1744 he married Elizabeth Warner, daughter of Richard Warner of North Elmham, Norfolk, by whom he had 3 sons and 1 daughter. Arms of his heiress mother shown as expected, and no impalement of arms of wife Warner as salver made 5/6 years before his marriage. Arms, quarterly of 4:

  • 1&4: Ermines, a trefoil slipped or between three round buckles' tongues pendent argent (Jodrell)
  • 2: Or, on a fesse dancettée between three billets azure each charged with a lion rampant of the first three bezants (Rolle/Rolles of Lewknor, descended from Rolle of Stevenstone, Devon (Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.868); Paul Jodrell (1645-1728) of Lichfield, Clerk of the House of Commons married Jane Rolles, daughter (and heiress) of Thomas Rolles of Lewknor, Oxfordshire (https://www.stirnet.com/genie/data/british/ij/jodrell2.php))
  • 3: Argent, on a chevron gules three sheldrakes of the first on a canton of the second a rose of the field (Sheldon)

This salver shows the arms of Sheldon quartered, so must relate to a descendant of Paul Jodrell (d.1744) and his heiress wife Judith Sheldon. Paul Jodrell (c.1715-1751), of Duffield, Derbyshire, MP for Old Sarum in 1751, was the eldest son of Paul Jodrell (d.1744) of Duffield, barrister-at-law, by his wife Judith Sheldon, daughter and coheiress of Gilbert Sheldon. In 1744 he married Elizabeth Warner, daughter of Richard Warner of North Elmham, Norfolk, by whom he had 3 sons and 1 daughter. (Source: www.historyofparliamentonline.org[1]).

The manor of Lewknor: (Source: 'Parishes: Lewknor', in A History of the County of Oxford: Volume 8, Lewknor and Pyrton Hundreds, ed. Mary D Lobel (London, 1964), pp. 98-115 [2]) "From Thomas (d. 1606) the manor passed to a nephew Richard Rolles (d. 1633). Richard's son Thomas Rolles (1608–89) led a long life of extravagance supported by sales and enfranchisements, and left to his son, a third Thomas Rolles (1652–1725), and impoverished property, reduced by the sale of a farm with 178 acres in the common fields to Edward Huish of the Middle Temple, and of another in 1667 to Sir Thomas Tipping of Wheatfield. At length Thomas Rolles the younger made over a bankrupt estate in 1720 to his brother-in-law Paul Jodrell in satisfaction of his debts and mortgages. Paul Jodrell (1646–1728) of Syon Hill in Isleworth (Mdx.), who thus became lord of Lewknor manor, was for 43 years Clerk to the House of Commons. His grandson, also named Paul Jodrell (1713–51), was Solicitor-general to Frederick, Prince of Wales. In the next generation, Richard Paul Jodrell (1745–1831), who purchased the Nethercote manor in Lewknor, was a dramatist, versifier, and classical scholar, a Fellow of the Royal Society and the last surviving member of Dr. Johnson's Club. His son, a second Richard Paul Jodrell (1781–1861), inherited through his mother a baronetcy and the Norfolk estate of Salle Park. His son, Sir Edward Repps Jodrell, died without issue in 1882 and his daughter Amelia Vertue (d. 1890), wife of Charles Higgins, eventually succeeded to the Salle estate and Nethercote House and took the name Jodrell again".
