These armorial bearings undoubtedly commemorate the marriage of The Honourable Edward Lloyd Mostyn
(1805-1884), of Mostyn Hall, Mostyn in the County of Flintshire and Lady Harriet Margaret Scott (d.1891). Edward and Harriet were married by License at the Parish Church of St George, Hanover Square in the County of Middlesex on the 20th June 1827. Edward was the eldest son of Sir Edward Pryce Lloyd, the 1st Baron Mostyn and his wife, Elizabeth Mostyn, whilst Harriet was the eldest daughter of Thomas Scott, the 2nd Earl of Clonmell and his wife, Lady Henrietta Louisa Greville.

Upon the death of his father, Edward succeeded as the 2nd Baron Mostyn and the 3rd Baronet of Pengwern in the County of Flintshire on the 3rd April 1854.
