The armorial contains no baronets coronet and as the arms are quartered and not impaled we would expect that the arms in the image to be those of his son and heir Sir Richard ANSTRUTHER-GOUGH-CALTHORPE (1908-1985), of Elvetham Hall in Elvetham, Hants., before his father’s death in 1929. The arms are confirmed by Burke’s Peerage.
