The company was founded in 1853, by Michael Spedding, who worked from his small bake house in Batley making "eatables" to sell at feasts and fairs held throughout the north of England. His daughter Hannah provided the name for the company, after she married Fred Ellis Fox in the late 1800s.( stolen from another site) |

I think, and I could very well be wrong, that to become a master, you not only had to have served an apprenticeship yourself but to have also trained an apprentice. |

I have mentioned this before, but in a different context. I have the Last Will and Testament of one John Pringle, Baker. His premises were at 8, St. Agnes Terrace, Tabernacle Walk, Shoreditch. I can find no relationship to my family, but there must be a connection as I also have his, his wife Kate's ,and niece Mary Ann's funeral cards, the receipt for Mary Ann's funeral, and a business card of his nephew George's, a "beer engine maker and pewterer". Sorry to go on a bit. All because someone asked about Master Bakers. Bob |
