A sugar basket with shaped foot and threaded border, by William Abdy London 1795 (also marked with a lion passant on the handle), engraved with the crest and armorial of Sir James Sanderson, 1st and only Baronet of the City of London (1741-1798) . Sanderson's wider interests included his membership of the anti-slavery campaigner, William Wilberforce's Society of the Proclamation for the discouragement of Vice (founded in 1787) and the Philanthropic Society (founded in 1788). He also served as vice-president of the Magdalen Hospital and President of the Bridewell Hospital where he is acknowledged to have played a transformative role in its development. He served as Colonel of the 2nd London Militia (1793-1794) and the West London Militia (1794-1796). Sanderson died in 1798 without a male heir leaving a widow and a daughter- thus there was no second Baronet. His widow became involved with William Huntington (1745-1813) and married him in 1806 (when both were free to do so). Huntington was a coal heaver who following a revelation in 1773 became a preacher and self professed prophet- he went on to found several chapels in London, Sussex, the East Midlands and Bristol. Through his daughter Elizabeth Sanderson was grandfather to Sir John Scott Sanderson-Burdon Baronet (1828-1895)- a scientist who reported on Penicillin in 1871. |
