THE TABLE BELOW shows the data which it has been possible to piece together regarding Bridgeman's income. The information presented comes from a variety of sources: from Charles Bridgeman and the English Landscape Garden, from the archive of the Office of Works, Work 6/114 (which deals with the reshaping of Kensington Gardens), from the yearly abstract of the Office of Works (Work 5/57, 5/58 and 5/59 1726–1739) and from Nicky Smith's work on Lodge Park (Smith 2006). I have included all the payments made to Bridgeman from the Office of Works, except those between 1726 and 1728 made to him and Wise jointly, because it is not clear how the payments were divided. I have recorded Bridgeman's payment for the work at Kensington Gardens as a single payment, even though it was paid in instalments during the course of the work (Work 6/114).
