SynopsisFascinating history of the only remaining 'private' private bank in London Of the many family banks founded in Restoration England, Hoare's Bank is the only one that continues - by adapting to the new circumstances of every generation - as an independent partnership. Three centuries of unaltered ownership provide an engrossing portrait of the world that shaped both it and the Hoare family. As the family became identified with the bank which Richard Hoare founded in 1672, the lives of each generation became interwoven with the institution. Emerging from commonplace beginnings under the control of an assiduous and ambitious man, it developed during the 18th century into an institution with a character and connections that were aristocratic, the family building Stourhead and laying out its world-famous gardens. With success and wealth came fragmentation as the outside world brought distraction and the size of the family brought rivalry., Of the many family banks founded in Restoration England, Hoare's Bank is the only one that continues - by adapting to the new circumstances of every generation - as an independent partnership. Three centuries of unaltered ownership provide an engrossing portrait of the world that shaped both it and the Hoare family. This is the history of a family-run business over several generations. It reflects the changing face of England over three centuries through the story of a single family.

A modern update to the previously Bank published histories
This book is a more readable, modern update to the previously published bank history of 1932 (updated, 2nd edition in 1955) entitled "Hoare's Bank A Record 1673-1932". Still includes the genealogy chart of the old put brings it to more current status. Discusses the founding and some family lines through the years. The only more interesting source on the family proper is Sir Richard Colt Hoare's original 1819 manuscript "Pedigrees and memoirs of the families of Hore, of Rushford, co. Devon; Hoare of Walton, co. Bucks; Hoare, of London, co. Middlesex; Hoare, of Mitcham, co. Surrey; Hoare, of Stourton, co. Wilts.; Hoare, of Barn-Elms, co. Surrey; Hoare, of Boreham, Essex" of which only 25 were printed and very few libraries have a copy of. Many color illustrations. Coffee table book style printing with heavy weight, glossed pages. When found at a good deal, this can be a worthwhile book that gives a slice of history through England of the last 350+ years and about the oldest bank still in operation (yes, predates the Bank of England).Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
