Hutton
& Co.: History
The
Company
The
firm with this name first appeared in an 1860[1]
city directory where it was listed as “Hutton & Co, importers of berlin
wools, canvases, patterns, beads & needlework; manufacturers of purse twist
& embroidery, silks, furniture & dress trimmings, haberdashery &c,
5 & 6 Newgate street EC, & Phoenix court, manufactory, 12 Angel court, Skinner street, Snowhill EC.” Prior to 1860 there were several Hutton
companies listed in city directories at the Newgate Street address, but their
names and business types were slightly different over the years which implies
different members of the Hutton family had different businesses at that
address. The earliest listing was in
1780[2]
for a Benjamin Hutton, a laceman at 5 Newgate Street,
who continued to be listed as such in 1790[3]. Then in 1801[4]
the firm’s name was recorded as E. & T. Hutton, lacemen
at 5 Newgate street, in 1810[5]
it was E. & S. Hutton, bed-lace & fringe manufacturers at 6 Newgate
Street, in 1820[6] it was
S. & T. Hutton & Co., worsted manufacturers at 6 Newgate and from 1825[7]
until 1835[8]
it was either Thomas Hutton & Lepines or Hutton
& Lepines, bed-lace, fringe, and worsted
manufacturers or worsted & fringe manufacturers at 6 Newgate Street. By 1840[9]
until 1845[10] it was
recorded as T. Hutton or Thos. Hutton & Co., fringe, lace
and worsted manufacturer at 6 Newgate Street, which by 1850[11]
expanded to include importers of berlin wool, patterns, embroidery &c.,
manufacturers of fancy silks canvas, fringes & dressing trimmings at 5
& 6 Newgate Street.
According
to a Hutton family history, Thomas Hutton moved to the London area from
Yorkshire in 1791 at age 11 and by 1818[12]
was working as a merchant. It seems most
likely that when Thomas arrived in London, he joined another relative at their
Newgate address and after that relative died, he partnered with a Mr. Lepines for at least 10 years from 1825[13]
until at least 1835[14]. When their partnership ended, sometime
between 1835[15] and
1840[16],
Thomas established the business on his own and was later joined by his two sons
Charles William Cookworthy Hutton and Thomas Owthwaites Hutton who were working
as apprentices in 1841[17]. By 1849[18]
the two brothers were considered partners with their father as was another man,
Charles Wellborne Slee, who must have joined the firm around the same time as
the Hutton brothers. By 1854[19]
the son Thomas Owthwaites Hutton left the business and that year the
partnership between his father Thomas Hutton, his brother Charles William
Cookworthy Hutton and Charles Wellborne Slee was dissolved with
regard to Thomas Hutton, meaning Charles William Cookworthy Hutton and
Charles Wellborne Slee continued the business together as partners. Most likely Thomas, the father, decided to
retire at that time as he was 74 years old that year.
After
Thomas, the father, died in 1859[20],
the name of the business was changed to Hutton & Co. by 1860[21]
and Charles Wellborne Slee was listed separately that year as a “fringe &c.
manufr. see Hutton & Co.” Evidence supporting the partnership in the
business and the Hutton brother’s occupations can be found in city directories
from 1865[22] through
1880[23]
where Hutton & Co. was consistently listed as such at either 5 & 6
Newgate Street or 6 & 7 Newgate Street.
During those
years Mr. Hutton was also listed separately as Chas. Wm.
Cookworthy Hutton or Chas Wm. C. Hutton an importer of berlin wool or a
warehouseman with the words see Hutton and Co. after his name. Likewise Charles
Wellborne Slee was listed separately as a fringe &c. manufr.
with see Hutton & Co. recorded after his name from 1865 to 1875[24]. The other Hutton brother, Thomas Owthwaite Hutton, was also listed separately during those
years, but the words stationery, see Millington & Hutton was next to his
name. The advertisement pictured here is from
1870[25]
and it provides interesting information about some of the
products this firm sold at that time.
Charles
Welborne Slee died in 1879[26]
and as a result was no longer listed in the city directory in 1880[27]. Also, 1880[28]
was the last time Charles William Cookworthy Hutton was listed separately in
the commercial section of the directory with the words see Hutton & Co.
after his name. That year the business
was recorded as transcribed below which shows that additional products were now
sold by the company.
“Hutton
& Co. warehousemen, haberdashery, stays, collars, dress trimmings, ribbon
& piece velvet, furniture trimmings, upholsterers’ sundries, umbrellas
& sunshades, jewellery, jet & imitation, gilt
& pearl goods, berlin wools, fleecies, worsteds
& canvas, fancy cabinet, leather & papier mâché goods, beads, bugles,
working silks, english & foreign needleworks, embroideries & perfumery, fancy soaps,
combs, brushes &c. 6 & 7 Newgate street E C”
And
in 1885[29]
it was recorded as follows:
“Hutton
& Co. warehousemen, alliance yarn, haco yarn, frou from yarn fingerings, archangel quilt wool, angora
wool, haberdashery, plain & fancy trimmings, furniture & dress canvas,
needlework crash, plush & zulu cloth,
embroideries, crewel & other silks for embroidery, knitting & netting;
beads, glass & metal, combs, brushes & bazaar goods; Argosy brace &
glove depot, 6 & 7 Newgate street E C & Phoenix court E C”
The
business was listed for the last time in London city directories in 1885[30]. This implies it either went out of existence
sometime between 1885 and 1890 or became known with a different name at a
different location because it was not listed in the commercial section or the
street section of the directory in 1890[31]. Apparently, Charles decided to retire from
the business around that time so he could focus his attention on the position
he held as a government official. He was
listed in 1885[32] in the
Commission of the Lieutenancy For London section of
the city directory.
Hutton
& Co. is one of only four of the 35 London companies that had their names
stamped on 11 or more different Avery style needle case designs. This means they were one of Avery’s best
licensees. The above descriptions of the
company’s product line shows that they were heavily
involved in the needlework and embroidery trade and
they had the perfect clientele who would be interested in purchasing a fancy
needle case filled with Avery’s needles.
What is interesting about 
this company is that all of the needle case designs with their name stamped on
them were registered by William Avery between 1868 and 1872 whereas the other
three London comp
anies had designs that were registered from 1868 until 1874,
1876 or 1877. These needle cases were
Avery most popular designs
which included: Quad-Golden-Casket - Fleur-de-Lis (1868), Demi-Quad -
Christmas (1869), Demi-Quad-Helen - Oval Decoration (1869), Duplex (1870),
Florence (1870), Louise - Square (1870), Royal with Vase (1869), Stella Golden
(1869), Scallop Shell (1871), Butterfly Box - Oval Tub (1872) and the Hedgehog
Needle and Pin Case (1872). Of these 11
designs, 2 had unique decorations stamped on them and have only been found with
the Hutton & Co. name or the W. Avery & Son name. These are the two Demi Quads. The Demi-Quad - Christmas, seen above on the
left, had the Hutton name stamped on the side whereas the Demi-Quad-Helen -
Oval Decoration, pictured on the right, had the Hutton name stamped on the
center bottom. Photographs of the other
needle cases stamped with Hutton’s name can be found in the Images section 
of this chapter.
The
Hutton Owners[33]
Thomas
Hutton was born c1780 in Stainburn, near Otley, Yorkshire, 212 miles northwest
of London. At age 11 he moved to London
and by 1818 became a merchant. He
married Ann Russell at the St. Peter and Paul church in Bath, Somerset in 1821,
which was located 115 miles west of London.
Thomas was listed as a resident of Christ Church in London and as an
esquire in the marriage record indicating he came from a well to do
family. After their marriage Thomas and
Ann returned to Newgate Street in London where they had 4 children between 1822
and 1826: Thomas Bickham who died within 5 months of his birth, Charles William
Cookworthy, Thomas Owthwaites and Sarah Elizabeth. Unfortunately, Ann died in 1828 at age 39,
less than two years after the birth of their last child and was buried at
Christ Church near their home. The Hutton family lived at the same address as
their shop on Newgate Street in London until sometime between 1841 and 1848
when they moved to Streatham in the Wandsworth section of London, approximately
6 miles south of Trafalgar Square. At
some point between 1841 and 1851 Thomas married his second wife Mary who was
born in Gloucestershire. He was
consistently listed as a fringe maker or fringe manufacturer. Thomas died at his home in Streatham in 1859
at age 79 and he was buried in his hometown in Stainburn, Yorkshire. His estate was valued at £70,000 (£4,139,044 today[34])
which was proved by his wife Mary and 3 other men. Mary died 8 years later in 1867 at age
86. Of their two surviving sons, the
eldest carried on his father’s business whereas the youngest, Thomas Owthwaites
Hutton, worked in his father’s business for a few years but by 1860 established
a wholesale stationery business with another partner which was named Millington
& Hutton.
The
eldest surviving son of Thomas and Ann Hutton was Charles William Cookworthy
Hutton who was born in 1823 and was baptized that year at the Christ Church and
St. Leonard near the family home on Newgate street. By the time he was 18 in 1841 he was working
as an apprentice most likely for his father and by
1846 became a freemason and then partnered with his father. In 1848 at age 25 he married Elizabeth Winder
at St. Leonard in Streatham and the family settled in neighboring Dulwich where
they remained for at least 30 years, although they lived in several different
places there. Charles and Elizabeth had
13 children between 1849 and 1871: Thomas Winder, Charles Alfred Richard, Helen
Mary Jane, Elizabeth Marian, Clara Mary, Arthur Charles Adolph, Stanley Edmund
who died a year after his birth, Walter Herbert, Percy Edward Septimus, Ethel
Ainsworth, Ada Gertrude, Herbert William Gray and Stanley Page. Throughout his life Charles was listed as an
importer of fringe goods manufacturer or as a silk and worsted manufacturer or
as a Berlin warehouseman and fringe manufacturer and in 1881 as a justice of the
peace and general merchant and in 1885 and 1890[35]
as a commission of lieutenancy for London.
At some point after 1881 the family moved to Earls Court in Kensington
presumably so Charles could be closer to where he worked at a J.P, etc. In an 1881[36]
book entitled The Directory of Directors, Charles W. C. Hutton was
listed as “of Hutton & Co. warehousemen, 6-7 Newgate-street, EC, a director
of the National Provident Institution”. “The National Provident Institution was
formed in 1835 as a friendly society, modelled on the Friends Provident
Institution, to offer life assurance to a wide range of people.”[37] Charles died in Kensington in 1903 at age 80
and left an estate of £1,323
to his wife. Elizabeth died there a year
later in 1904 at age 75 leaving an estate of £2,423 to their two eldest surviving sons, Charles
Alfred Richard and Arthur Charles Adolph. His 1903[38]
obituary is listed below.
“Mr.
Charles William Cookworthy Hutton, an ex-Sheriff of London and Middlesex, died
last week at his residence, 9, Penywern-road, South
Kensington, in his eighty-first year.
The eldest son of the late Mr. Thomas Hutton, a merchant of London, he
was born in 1823 and was long engaged in business in the City
as a merchant in Newgate-street. He was
in the commission of the peace for Surrey and London, was one of his Majesty’s
Lieutenants for the City of London, and served the
office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex in 1868-9.”
The seven surviving sons of Charles and
Elizabeth Hutton had a variety of careers.
Although several appear to have worked in their father’s company for a
short period of time, none stayed with the company
long as it was no longer in business as Hutton & Co. after 1885. The eldest, Thomas Winder Hutton, was born in
1849 and by 1871 was living with and presumably working for his father as a
warehouseman. Unfortunately, he died in
1872 at age 23 leaving an estate of under £200 to his father.
The second son, Charles Alfred Richard Hutton was born in 1850 and in
1873 became a weaver. After his first
wife died, Charles traveled to Brussels, Belgium in 1878 where he married his
second wife Mary Isabella Ida Wilson who was born in Florence, Italy to British
parents. By 1891 Charles was working as
an American merchant employer and by 1911 was the director of a public
company. He died in 1931 in Lewes,
Sussex at age 81 leaving an estate valued at £10,669. The
third son was Arthur Charles Adolph Hutton who was born in 1858. By 1891 Arthur was working as an American
agent employer possibly with the same company as his older brother. In 1911 he was listed as a merchant and agent
export and reassurance employer. When
Arthur died in Kensington in 1917 at age 59 his estate was valued at £900. Walter Herbert Hutton, the fourth son, was
born in 1861. By 1911 Walter was working
as a civil engineer. He died at
Sevenoaks, Kent in 1932 at age 70 leaving an estate valued at £953. The fifth son was Percy Edmund Septimus
Hutton, who was born in 1863. By 1881
Percy was working as a commercial clerk and general merchant presumably for his
father, however by 1911 he was an assistant manager at Apollonius Company, a
business that worked with natural mineral water. Percy died in Malling, Kent in 1941 at age
77.
The
names of the two youngest sons of Charles and Elizabeth Hutton were changed
shortly after their births, but the reasons for the changes are unknown. When Herbert William Gray Hutton was born in
1869 his forename was listed as Frank, however by the time he was baptized a
couple months after his birth it was changed to Herbert which is how it was recorder thereafter.
At some point Herbert left the UK and settled in the Dominican Republic
in the West Indies where he became a landowner.
He died there in 1899 leaving an estate of £674 to his sister.
The youngest son was named Stanley Henry Hutton when he was born in
1871. Sometime between 1871 and 1881 his
middle name was changed to Page as he was recorded in 1871 as Stanley H. Hutton
age 2 months and as Stanley P. Hutton age 10 in 1881. All later records in which he was listed his
middle name was consistently listed as P. or Page. By 1911 Stanley was working as an engineer
and iron founder employer. He died in 1948 in Bournemouth, Hampshire at
age 77 and left an estate valued at £801.
The
Slee Owners
The
other partner in the Hutton & Co. business was Charles Wellborne Slee. Mr. Slee was born c1820 in Southwark,
Middlesex, the son of Josias Slee. He
married Eliza Ann Ruffy in 1848 at St. Mark, Kensington and they had 3 children
between 1849 and 1854: Caroline Maria, Charles Robert
and Eliza Emma. At some point prior to
1848 Mr. Slee joined the Hutton & Co. business where he worked for the
remainer of his life. At first the Slee
family lived in the St. Pancras area but by 1861 moved to Southend in the
Lewisham section of London, roughly 10 miles southeast of the London city
center. Their son died at age 16 while visiting Dreseden,
Germany and was buried there. Charles
died in 1879 at age 59 and left an estate valued at under £40,000 (£2,647,388 today[39])
to his wife and another man. After his
death his wife moved to Oxford Terrace in Hyde Park but spent some of her time
in France. She died in 1920 at age 92 in
Cannes, France and left as estate valued at £7,943 to her 2 daughters who were spinsters.
