The carriages were discovered in the late 19th century at Manton Grange in
Marlborough and were removed from there in 1898 by the coach and harness
manufacturers S. and A. Fuller who displayed them in their showroom.
They were built in 1698 for the High Sheriff of Wiltshire Thomas Baskerville
and Fullers hoped that a local museum would be able to accept the carriages
because of the Wiltshire connections. However none came forward and they
were transferred to Nottingham Castle Museum in 1920 and eventually to the
Industrial Museum, after restoration, in the mid 1980s.
