Summary

[edit]
Description

Hatchment for George Weller Poley (1783-1849) of Boxted Hall. From: https://www.antiquestradegazette.com/print-edition/2020/july/2452/auction-reports/maori-greenstone-brought-to-britain-by-1820s-adventurer/ :

"George Weller-Poley (1783-1849) was an adventurer (sic, explorer) who visited New Zealand in the 1820s. He brought back a number of Maori artefacts including the preserved head of a warrior or mokomokai that caused an international incident when offered for sale at Bonhams in 1988. At the eleventh hour the consignor Nancy Weller-Poller agreed to withdraw the head and deliver it to New Zealand authorities – receiving in exchange a contemporary Maori greenstone mere (a club) as a token of thanks".
From: https://apnews.com/article/1b133003bc1f38714854969a217bd113 : "Mrs. Weller-Poley, asked whether she was satisfied with the offer of the hand-carved club, said: ″I wouldn’t have put the head up for sale if I hadn’t wanted the money. But you have to take these things as they come, don’t you?″. He married Helen Sophia Fisher, a daughter of James Fisher of Brownston Hall, Suffolk, and left issue. His grandfather George Weller (1710-1778) (son of Robert Weller of Tunbridge) adopted the additional surname of Poley, his mother being Elizabeth Poley, a daughter and co-heiress of Thomas Poley of Boxsted and a grand-daughter of Sir William Poley (born 1602) of Boxted, knighted at Hampton Court in 1631. ( Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed Gentry, 15th Edition, ed. Pirie-Gordon, H., London, 1937, p.1825). Arms of Poley of Boxted, Suffolk, originally from Poley, Hertfordshire: Or, a lion rampant sable (Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.811) impaling: Gules, three demi-lions couped or a chief of the last (Fisher) (General Armory, p.351)
