Christopher Codrington (1764-1843)
Christopher Codrington was the son of a West India merchant. Christopher’s father and his uncle, Sir William Codrington, managed plantations in Antigua. In 1789, Sir William Codrington disinherited his only son, William 3rd Baronet, due to the substantial size of his debts. The Antigua plantations and his estate in south Gloucestershire went to Christopher in 1792, the year of this wine cooler. He married Caroline, daughter of the 2nd Baron Foley in 1796 and changed his name to Codrington Bethel by Royal Licence the following year.

Peter Winkworth (1929-2005)
Peter Winkworth of 2 Campden Hill Place, London, was a celebrated collector of art, predominantly Canadiana. The son of a Canadian mother and an English father, Winkworth was educated in Montreal and read History at Wadham College, Oxford before embarking on a career in the City of London with a firm of Canadian stockbrokers. His career was curtailed when he lost a leg in a boating accident off Monte Carlo, and he began collecting in earnest during his year of convalescence.
