Bryan Faussett information


Faussett discovered the Kingston Brooch, now at the World Museum in Liverpool

Bryan Faussett (30 October 1720 – 20 February 1776) was an English antiquary. Faussett formed a collection that was rich in Anglo-Saxon objects of personal adornment, such as pendants, brooches, beads and buckles. He discovered the Kingston Brooch, the largest known Anglo-Saxon composite brooch. At the time of his death he had the world's largest collection of Anglo-Saxon items.

In 1844, after his death, the collection was exhibited by the British Archaeological Association. In 1853, more than five thousand of his Roman and English coins were sold at Sotheby's. In 1855 his collection was bought by Joseph Mayer, and it is now in the World Museum in Liverpool. He has been described as pioneering because of the extensive archaeological records he kept.
