The John Bargrave Collection
Samuel Shuckford (1693/4 - 1754)
English cleric and antiquarian. He earned an M.A. from Caius College, Cambridge, in 1720 and was later awarded the Lambeth degree of DD (conferred by the Archbishop of Canterbury). He was installed Prebend of Canterbury on 17 March 1738. It was probably after this that he set out cataloguing Bargrave's and Casaubon's coin collections. Canterbury Cathedral Lit. Mss. E16c declares itself to have been “taken by Samuel Shuckford DD Canon of Canterbury,” seeming to indicate that he undertook the catalogue of coins that it contains. Lit. Mss. E16b and two loose-sheet lists of coins (grouped with the Bargave labels) seem also to be in the same hand and therefore traceable to Shuckford.
