Richard Reynolds (ironmaster)
Richard Reynolds (November 1735 – 10 September 1816) was an ironmaster, a partner in the ironworks in Coalbrookdale, Shropshire, at a significant time in the history of iron production. He was a Quaker and philanthropist.
==Early career==
Richard Reynolds was born in Bristol in 1735, the only son of Richard, an iron merchant, and wife Jane. He was great-grandson of Michael Reynolds of Faringdon, Berkshire, an early Quaker. After his education he was apprenticed in 1749 to William Fry, a grocer in Bristol. After serving the apprenticeship in 1756, he was sent on business to Coalbrookdale, and there he became a friend of Abraham Darby II. He married his daughter Hannah at Shrewsbury on 20 May 1757.〔(Chapter 5 of ''Industrial Biography: Iron Workers and Tool Makers'' ), by Samuel Smiles, at Project Gutenberg〕
He was in charge of Abraham Darby's iron works at Ketley, near Coalbrookdale, and in 1762 he bought a half share in the Ketley works. When his father-in-law died in 1763, he moved to Coalbrookdale and took charge of the works there, until Abraham Darby III came of age in 1768; he then returned to managing the Ketley works.〔〔〔''The Coalbrookdale Ironworks: a short history''.
