Matthew Robinson, 2nd Baron Rokeby
Matthew Robinson, 2nd Baron Rokeby( Baptised, York 12 April 1713 – 30 November 1800), FRS, was an English landowner, politician and nobleman.
In later life he was considered an eccentric.
Matthew Boulton
Matthew Boulton (3 September 1728 – 17 August 1809) was an English manufacturer and business partner of Scottish engineer James Watt.
In the final quarter of the 18th century, the partnership installed hundreds of Boulton & Watt steam engines, which were a great advance on the state of the art, making possible the mechanisation of factories and mills.
Boulton applied modern techniques to the minting of coins, striking millions of pieces for Britain and other countries, and supplying the Royal Mint with up-to-date equipment.
Born in Birmingham, he was the son of a Birmingham manufacturer of small metal products who died when Boulton was 31.
By then Boulton had managed the business for several years, and thereafter expanded it considerably, consolidating operations at the Soho Manufactory, built by him near Birmingham.
At Soho, he adopted the latest techniques, branching into silver plate, ormolu and other decorative arts.
He became associated with James Watt when Watt's business partner, John Roebuck, was unable to pay a debt to Boulton, who accepted Roebuck's share of Watt's patent as settlement.
He then successfully lobbied Parliament to extend Watt's patent for an additional 17 years, enabling the firm to market Watt's steam engine.
The firm installed hundreds of Boulton & Watt steam engines in Britain and abroad, initially in mines and then in factories.
Boulton was a key member of the Lunar Society, a group of Birmingham-area men prominent in the arts, sciences, and theology.
Members included Watt, Erasmus Darwin, Josiah Wedgwood and Joseph Priestley.
The Society met each month near the full moon.
Members of the Society have been given credit for developing concepts and techniques in science, agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and transport that laid the groundwork for the Industrial Revolution.
Boulton founded the Soho Mint, to which he soon adapted steam power.
He sought to improve the poor state of Britain's coinage, and after several years of effort obtained a contract in 1797 to produce the first British copper coinage in a quarter century.
His "cartwheel" pieces were well-designed and difficult to counterfeit, and included the first striking of the large copper British penny, which continued to be coined until decimalisation in 1971.
He retired in 1800, though continuing to run his mint, and died in 1809.
His image appears alongside his partner James Watt on the Bank of England's current Series F £50 note.

Matthew Piers Watt Boulton
Matthew Piers Watt Boulton( 22 September 1820 – 30 June 1894), also published under the pseudonym M. P. W. Bolton, was a British classicist, elected member of the UK's Metaphysical Society, an amateur scientist and an inventor, best known for his invention of the aileron, a primary aeronautical flight control device.
He patented the aileron in 1868, some 36 years before it was first employed in manned flight by Robert Esnault- Pelterie in 1904.
Boulton was the son of Matthew Robinson Boulton, and as well the grandson of Matthew Boulton, who founded the Soho Manufactory and the Soho Mint.
His grandfather also co-founded the Soho Foundry with James Watt, which employed steam engines of the latter's design.
Born into a family of significant wealth and means, M. P.
W. was broadly educated in the classics, philosophy and sciences, subsequently becoming well versed in steam engine design, and then transferring his interest to the basic conceptual designs of jet propulsion and rocket motors.
However, whatever personal interest he held in the foundry's operation and the coinage mint he inherited from his father soon waned, and he subsequently closed and sold the mint facility in 1850.
Thereafter he conducted numerous studies, wrote a wide variety of papers and earned a number of patents, including for an aileron flight control system, various types of motive power engines and their components such as propellers and pumps, plus other works on solar heat, photography and more.
Despite being married twice and raising a large family, Boulton was described as reclusive by those who knew him.
He was one of only five members of the Metaphysical Society who did not appear in the British" Dictionary of National Biography".
His" Times" obituary described him as" a gifted member of a gifted family ...[ with] wide knowledge and sterling qualities"; however, he appears to have never sought notability nor gained it in his lifetime, and his accomplishments are known chiefly through his patents and published writings.
