Historical context | The small Oxfordshire town of Witney was famous for its production of blankets for ca. 300 years. The last blanket mill closed in 2002. Charles Early and Co. Ltd. (operating 1862-1960) was the most important of the Early family companies. Inherited by Charles Early from his father John in 1862, it merged with Marriott's in 1960. |
