Arms: Azure, a saltire cantoned with a star in chief and in base and with two crescents addorsed in the flanks argent (Haigh) (Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.440)); impaling: Or, on a bend between three trefoils slipped azure three doves rising wings elevated and addorsed of the field (Adelaide) (Not listed in Burke, but see image https://www.flickr.com/photos/vitrearum/4770461573/).

Francis Nettleship (d.1797), the last member of the family, left most of his property to his servant Elizabeth Borrell, who already owned land and the mansion house. When she died in 1826, the property was inherited by her niece Elizabeth Charlotte Borrell, who married William Haigh of Halifax in 1827. Their son was George Henry Haigh (1829-1887), who by his wife Emma-Jane Adelaide (1828–1919), was the father of the botanist and ornithologist w:George Henry Caton Haigh (1860-1941), DL, a world authority on Himalayan flowering trees and exotic plants.
