George Dodington was a Whig politician, a collector, with his house in Hammersmith being the popular salon of political and cultural discussions. He was close friends with Frederick the Prince of Wales, the father of George III. He was also said to be part of a spy ring, collecting information about Jacobite activities, and has been described as an indefatigable schemer.
