The Bridgewater House Collection was possibly begun as early as the mid-17th century by John, the second Earl of Bridgewater, with a collection certainly passing to Scrope, the fourth Earl, in 1701. The collection appears to have been effectively completed by about 1740, as few coins of later date appear.
