Notes from John Carpenter:CARPENTERS - THE IRONMONGERS
James Waller Carpenter was born on 23rd March 1855 at Higher Withleigh to William and Ann (nee Waller) Carpenter. He was their 9th and last child; William died in 1867 and Ann and James moved to Withleigh Cottage, a smaller house. On leaving school, in 1869, James was apprenticed to a local firm of ironmongers, John Gosling Bristow, of Fore Street, Tiverton. The period to be served was 6 years and a premium of £60 was paid to the employers. In 1875 Mr. Bristow died, and James decided to try his fortune in London, where he worked as an assistant in Holloway for a few months, then in 1896 he decided to set up on his own and rented premises at 258 Harrow Road, Paddington, which at that time was a reasonably wealthy outer suburb of London. Over the next few years the business prospered and expanded.Henry Percy Carpenter was born in 1870 to James Henry and Mary Ann (nee Carpenter) Carpenter at Middle Bradley. He was their third son and was only 5 years old when they moved to Cheltenham where he was educated at Cheltenham Grammar School. Leaving school in 1844 he (Percy) was apprenticed to the ironmongers Hope & Alger of 153 Westgate, Gloucester for a period of 4 years. The conditions of his Indenture were a premium of £70 was paid to the employers and they agreed to pay Percy a wage of 4/- (20p) per week during the fourth year of his service. At the conclusion of his 4 years (1889) Percy went to London and joined his uncle James. In 1892 they became partners trading as J.W. & H.P. Carpenter.
James Frederick (Fred) was born in 1899 to Henry Percy and Ellen (nee Winchester) but unfortunately suffered with poor eyesight and had to leave school at 16. On the 15th September 1915 he joined the Company as an apprentice at the Brondesbury branch, no premium was paid, but Fred received a weekly wage of 5/- (25p) for a 52-hour week.
The Company celebrated its Centenary on 1st March 1976.
