Spencer George Perceval (8 July 1838 – 7 March 1922) was an English amateur antiquary, geologist, and benefactor to Cambridge University.
Spencer George Perceval was the second son of Ernest Augustus Perceval of Bridgwater and his cousin Beatrice Trevelyan, fourth daughter of Sir John Trevelyan, 4th Baronet.
[2] Perceval's antiquarian and geological interests drove him to extensive activity as a collector.
[3] He edited a travel journal of Joseph Banks relating a tour through Dorset and Somerset,[4] and occasionally corresponded with periodicals on geological and antiquarian subjects.
[6] Perceval directed that the annual income from his property should be spent on objects of art and artefacts associated with pre-nineteenth-century Cambridge alumni.
