Pickering Phipps

In 1817, he opened a brewery in Bridge Street, Northampton, near to the River Nene and since 1973, the site of a large Carlsberg brewery by Danish architect Knud Munk.

Pickering Phipps II (1827–1890),[3] son of Pickering Phipps I's third son Edward, also held tenure as mayor of Northampton between 1860 and 1866,[1] a JP[3] as well as most notably serving as the Conservative Member of Parliament for Northampton from 1874 to 1880 and for South Northamptonshire from 1881 to 1885.

He built Collingtree Grange in 1875, which was since demolished, though the entrance lodges and gateway on the A45 road still survive.

In 1891, the Church of St Matthew[2] in Kettering Road, Northampton was built and paid for by the family in memory of Phipps II.

Pickering IIIrd's Northampton home on Cliftonville Road is now the head offices and showroom of the Jeffery-West shoe company.
