An outstanding art collection assembled by Charles Rogers FRS FSA (1711-1784) which presents a fascinating glimpse into the achievements of an 18th century English connoisseur. It comprises oil paintings, Old Master and English drawings and watercolours, sculpture, furniture and ceramics, a library, Reynolds material and a collection of seven thousand or so fine prints.
The collection was gifted to the people of Plymouth in 1852 by William Cotton MA FSA
(1795-1863) and is displayed at the Plymouth City Museum & Art Gallery.
