Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Northampton Borough Council has controversially sold an Egyptian statue which is thought to have been acquired by the 2nd Marquis of Northampton during a trip to Egypt in 1850. The 4th Marquis gifted a collection of Egyptian antiquities to the Borough of Northampton in 1880, accompanied by a deed of gift requiring the borough to exhibit the collection freely to the public. If disposed of, the collection would revert to the heirs of the 2nd Marquis. Although there is no known record of the statue prior to 1920 when it appears in a brief inventory listing, the council agreed to share the proceeds of the recent sale with the current Marquis, the 7th, who argues that the statue is covered by the 1880 deed of gift. This article outlines the life and career of the 2nd Marquis, Spencer Compton, who devoted his life to politics, the arts, sciences and archaeology. LD | |||
