Perhaps the church was being sensitive to its history in the 1860s? I have just found reference to your 2016 article about the Peploes.

The crest which appears on the hopper was designed by Mary's brother Chancellor Peploe in 1753 which helps date it. Ruperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14716649722724294505noreply@blogger.com
