Matthew Towgood

[8] Bloxham joined the Southwark Bank (so trading) in 1791, in partnership with Sanderson, Harrison and John Brenchley.

"[15] Financially stretched, the Fourdriniers made over their share of a paper mill at St Neots, acquired in 1807 to Towgood.

[3] In 1811 the partnership running the stationery business in Sherborne Lane, City of London, given as Henry and Charles Fourdrinier, Matthew Towgood V, J.

[19] Gamble subsequently described the course of events, attributing to the absence of any mention in the partnership deed of his paper machine, one of two then existing, his loss of the capital invested in it because he did not have ready money to pay for a share.

[5] It became a viable business, and innovated, for example with the dandy roll for watermarks supplied in 1827 to Towgood by John Marshall of London.

[1] At this period, he brought in Humphry Repton to produce plans for landscaping the grounds at New Barnes, and these were carried out.

[23] In 1823 he was the tenant of Riversfield on the banks of the River Great Ouse at Little Paxton near St Neots, by the paper mill.

[24] Of the sons: In 1831, after his father's death, Edward Towgood took over the St Neots paper mill, with his brother Frederick.
