Coach-makers to Queen Victoria they operated for more than two centuries〔200 Years Of British Coach-Building. ''The Times'', Tuesday, Apr 12, 1960; pg. 3; Issue 54744〕 until 1967 when they closed while in the ownership of Rootes Group. ==Mr Thrupp== This family coachbuilding firm was started near Worcester about 1740. The founder's son, Joseph Thrupp (died London 1821), came to London about 1765 and ran a coach making business in George Street, Grosvenor Square.〔Bryan K. Goodman, ‘Thrupp, George Athelstane (1822–1905)’, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004〕〔Martin Greenwood, ‘Thrupp, Frederick (1812–1895)’, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004〕 Though his best known coachbuilder descendant was George Athelstane Thrupp (1822-1905) Joseph left a number of notable descendants〔 * Arthur Thomas Thrupp (1828-1889), Royal Navy officer * Dorothea Ann Thrupp (1779-1847), writer * Frederick Thrupp (1812-1895), sculptor * John Thrupp (1817-1870), historian * Joseph Francis Thrupp (1827–1867), churchman and academic〕 who were not coach, carriage or harness makers.
