The 8th Duke of Bridgewater



Lord Francis Henry Egerton, the 8th Duke of Bridgewater, knew few people, yet his table was always set and a dozen servers were in attendance. He threw dinner parties for his favorite dogs, the dogs were dressed in the finest fashions of the day, right down to dog-sized shoes. Each was seated in his own armchair with a napkin tied about his neck. Egerton never married and his title was extinguished with his death.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
