In 1978, she donated a large part of her collection to the British Museum. This possibly comprised the best of her collections as she had separately donated fine pieces to other museums in the UK, including the Fitzwilliam in Cambridge, Manchester and Glasgow. Some of the major pieces included a 1559 silver roundel by [[Lambert Suavius]] commemorating the [[Peace of Cateau-Cambresis]], and silver portrait medallions of [[Elizabeth I]] and James I by [[Simon de Passe]].
