A three-quarter seated portrait of corwainer Timothy Bennett (c.1676-1756) wearing a plain coat buttoned to the lower chest, with a white cravat, holding walking stick and gloves. In 1752 Bennett realised that because Lord Halifax, the Park Ranger, had closed the path through Bushy Park, people were detouring away from his shop on their way to Kingston Market. He joined the campaign to establish public right of way through the park, becoming a figurehead. At first he was dismissed by the ranger as an 'impertinent fellow', but soon Halifax realised that the public had a strong case and, fearing an embarassing defeat, summoned Bennett to a meeting, at which this portrait was sketched. A path was restored, still bearing the name Cobbler's Walk.

A three-quarter seated portrait of corwainer Timothy Bennett (c.1676-1756) wearing a plain coat buttoned to the lower chest, with a white cravat, holding walking stick and gloves. In 1752 Bennett realised that because Lord Halifax, the Park Ranger, had closed the path through Bushy Park, people were detouring away from his shop on their way to Kingston Market. He joined the campaign to establish public right of way through the park, becoming a figurehead. At first he was dismissed by the ranger as an 'impertinent fellow', but soon Halifax realised that the public had a strong case and, fearing an embarassing defeat, summoned Bennett to a meeting, at which this portrait was sketched. A path was restored, still bearing the name Cobbler's Walk.

Sir William Dugdale (1605-1686) was an English antiquary. His early life was spent collecting materials for a history of Warwickshire with Sir Symon Archer, and in 1638 he was created a pursuivant of arms extraordinary and a year later he was promoted to the office of Rouge Croix Pursuivant of Arms in Ordinary. He then stayed in London to do some research on the records in the Tower.

In 1644 the King created him Chester Herald of Arms in Ordinary. At the Restoration he obtained the office of Norroy King of Arms, and in 1677 he was knighted and promoted to the officer of Garter Principal King of Arms, which he held until his death.
