Trust for the Thomas Layton Collection.
Thomas Layton collected books, coins, and
archaeological items (known as ‘antiquities’) for 70
years. In that time he had accumulated what has been
described as probably the largest collection of London antiquities
ever amassed by a single individual
.
On his death in 1911, Layton gave
£20,000 and all his collection to the people of
Brentford.
