Thornewill and Warham

Thornewill and Warham Ltd was a metal hardware and industrial metalwork manufacturer, later an engineering company, based in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, England.

By 1740, Thomas and his brother Francis had established a business on the south side of New Street, making spades and other edged tools.

In 1753 William Wyatt, the Earl of Uxbridge's steward, wrote that there was "nothing of any value remaining except the building and those in a very shattered and ruinous condition.

Robert died on 16 July 1858, aged 59, and his share of the business (and the running of it) was taken over by his 52-year-old widow, Martha Hammond Thornewill,[5] née Wright, from Eyam in Derbyshire.

[12] In 1883 and 1884, the company built an iron bridge to replace a wooden footbridge connecting Burton to Andresy island.

Examples of Thornewill and Warham steam engines can be found in various museums and preserved buildings, including:
