Gallery label | Probably enamelled by a member of the Beilby family of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The inscription 'Clavering & Liberty For Ever' most likely refers to the election of Sir Thomas Clavering of Axwell Park as MP for Durham, probably either 1768 or 1774. A Sir John Clavering of Lanchester (1722-77), the only other possible candidate, was an opponent of Warren Hastings. |
