SIR HENRY BRIDGEMAN 4TH BT.
Henry was educated at Queen's College Cambridge, and succeeded his father, Sir Orlando Bridgeman, as 4th baronet in 1764. He was awarded a Doctor of Laws by Cambridge in 1769 and a Doctor of Civil Laws by Oxford in 1793. He inherited the Weston Part estate from his uncle in 1762. He served for 20 years as M.P. for Ludlow and Wenlock, and was elevated to the peerage as the 1st Baron Bradford upon his retirement in 1794. He also served as clerk of the household to the Prince of Wales until his accession as King George III in 1760. Baron Bradford died in London on 5 June 1800.

The Victoria and Albert Museum has a related silver-gilt teapot on a similar stand (M.47&A-1960), also by Fogelberg. It has been suggested that the design may be attributed to Sir William Chambers (1726-1796), see lot 70.
