Description
English:
Inescutcheon of Chauncy with canton of Surtees

Coat of Arms, Doulting, Somerset, with date below "1901". The creamy stone is from the local quarry, and was used in both Wells Cathedral and Glastonbury Abbey. When a new road from Shepton Mallet was driven into Doulting in 1871 Sir Richard Paget, 1st Baronet (1832-1908), who owned the estate, took the opportunity to rebuild the centre of the village. This is his coat of arms from one of the resultant 'Paget terraces'. In 1866 Paget married Caroline Isabel Surtees the daughter and heiress of Henry Edward Surtees of Green End, Little Munden, Hertfordshire by his wife Eliza Snell Chauncy, heiress of Little Munden, only daughter and heiress of Charles Snell Chauncy II (born 1786), eldest son of Charles Snell Chauncy I (1759-1809) (born "Charles Snell"), son of William Snell by his wife Martha Chauncy, daughter and heiress of Charles Chauncy. Charles Snell Chauncy I (1759-1809 )was a London merchant and a major slave-owner in the Windward Islands (Grenada, Dominica and elsewhere) who married his cousin cousin Amelia Chauncy, daughter of Nathaniel Chauncy.
