		John's eldest son, John Egerton (1646-1701), 3rd Earl of Bridgewater, was the ancestor of the Earls and Dukes of Bridgewater, thereby continuing the senior line of the family; he did not, however, inherit the Tatton estate which was instead left to John's third son, Thomas Egerton (1651-1685), in c.1677.

	Lancashire Worthies - the Great Duke of Bridgewater
		This unremembered Duke was succeeded in his turn by his younger brother, Francis, the third, the last, the famous Duke of Bridgewater, founder of British canal-navigation.
		Further, the Duke of Bridgewater's land-agent and factotum, John Gilbert, was a brother of Lord Gower's steward, Thomas Gilbert, a practical man, and in his day and generation a useful one ; his name still survives in the Gilbert Unions, of which he was the founder.
		It is from the graceful tribute to the Duke of Bridgewater by his grandnephew, of which we have so often availed ourselves, and it may form a fitting close to a sketch of his career.

		Until the 18th century the only water here was Worsley Brook, then Scroop Egerton, 1st Duke of Bridgewater, became involved in a scheme to make Worsley Brook a navigable waterway to transport coal cheaply from local mines to Manchester.
		This particular scheme failed but the scheme of his son, Francis, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater, succeeded with the construction of the canal from Worsley, reaching Manchester in 1764 and Runcorn in 1776.

	scroop: The origin of the name "Scroop": Rebuttal
		It's true that I started calling you "Scroop" after learning about Scroop Egerton, the 1st Duke of Bridgewater, but not because the gentleman was a man of no consequence...
		Rather, Scroop Egerton, I would argue, is someone who is regularly overlooked in history books because his son, the 3rd Duke, is more famous for having constructed some of the great canals that transformed English transportation.
		But the truth is that Scroop not only tried to build some canals that failed (thereby establishing a model for later generations to emulate then improve upon), he also - as this extract included below shows - proved himself to be a model citizen in and beyond his community.

		At Blenheim the duke’s military victories are portrayed in an extensive series of murals painted by Sir James Thornhill (who also decorated the dome in St Paul’s Cathedral) and Louis Laguerre, and by a magnificent set of tapestries commissioned from a leading Brussels weaver, Judicos de Vos.
