Provenance
According to family tradition acquired by the present family from a dentist in Bath. The labels on lots 12 and 17 from the same collection referring to "Dentist Shew, Bath" suggests this is most likely George Shew, Esq., 'an eminent surgeon dentist in Bath' whose death at the age of 75 was recorded in the Gentleman's Magazine on the 11 March, 1818
Ernest Rooke of Bath, thence by descent to John Wentworth Rooke (b.1887) of The Ivy, Chippenham and thence by family descent to the present owners
