James Kendrick

Born in Warrington, which then was in Lancashire, on 7 November 1809, he was the son of the physician James Kendrick (1771–1847).

He forwarded the excavations at the Roman station at Wilderspool, near Warrington, which (with Dr. Robson) he thought might be the Condate of Antonine.

After his death, his daughter also handed over to the museum his collection of ecclesiastical and medieval seals and his bequest of one hundred volumes.

He gave more than three hundred books bearing a Warrington imprint to the public library.
