Letters Patent, 1757, purchased

The Trust acquired this document, appointing Hogarth Sergeant Painter to the King, in 2005. The Trust’s own funds were supported by a grant from the Friends of the National Libraries and a number of donations from private individuals obtained by Cllr Paul Lynch, then Hounslow Council’s Heritage Champion. Fullers Brewery and ALM London supported the purchase of a new showcase for the document.
