Thomas Cobbold (1708–1767)

Thomas Cobbold (1708 – 21 April 1767) was an English brewer in Harwich and Ipswich; he succeeded to the family brewing business founded by his father, also Thomas Cobbold.

This was in competition with a similar establishment opened by Thomas Hallstead in 1753.

[3][4] In 1762 Thomas leased a quay and an additional pub, the Angel and Bell, from the Corporation of Harwich.

Thomas junior was responsible for shifting the Cobbold brewing business to Ipswich.

[5] When he died in 1767 he was buried in St Clement's Church, Ipswich, which has a memorial to him.
