Gough-Calthorpe family
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gough-Calthorpe family is an ancient and notable family from the area around Birmingham, England.
Sir Richard Gough married into the Calthorpe family after the Civil War. The Calthorpes were Lords of the Manor of Edgbaston. The Fess Ermine in Birmingham's coat of arms is a reference to the arms of the Calthorpe family.
The Gough-Calthorpe Baron title died out in June 1997 when the last Baron died without a male heir.
