[family][full versions unknown] Morland

Career Brewer / Trader / Manufacturer

Biography The Morland brewing family from West Ilsley and Abingdon had a large collection, which was originally housed at the Abingdon Museum when it was still in Berkshire. According to the accession book entries: 'It seems likely that the collection was made by members of the Morland family during military service, and the Indian items at least were probably collected before the middle of the nineteenth century.'
