Newton Fellowes, 4th Earl of Portsmouth

Arms of Wallop, Earls of Portsmouth: Argent, a bend wavy sable[1]
Arms of Fellowes of Eggesford, Devon: Azure, a fesse indented ermine between three lion's heads erased or murally crowned argent. These arms were adopted by royal licence in 1794 by Newton Wallop, later 4th Earl, together with the surname Fellows on his inheritance of the manor of Eggesford. The 5th Earl reverted to the ancient Wallop arms and name, but without royal licence[1]

He was Member of Parliament (MP) for Andover from 1802 to 1820, and (with his brother-in-law Viscount Ebrington) MP for North Devon from 1832 to 1837.
