Cobbold family
The Cobbold family became influential in Ipswich and Suffolk in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The family is best known for brewing, moving its operations from Harwich to Ipswich in 1746, and as the driving force behind Ipswich Town Football Club, both as an amateur and professional team. During its Victorian heyday, the family also had interests in shipping, the railways and banking.
Beyond the family's commercial interests in Suffolk, Cobbolds and their kin found success and influence on a much wider stage in almost every sphere of human endeavour, including the arts, the sciences, religion, sport, military service, and public and political service both at home and across the British Empire.
48 Cobbolds were killed across the two World Wars.[1]
The Cobbold Family History Trust, a registered charity, holds and maintains a large archive of the family and its associated families. Its interactive family tree bears more than 15,000 entries.[2] The archive resides at Knebworth House, the home of Henry Lytton Cobbold, 3rd Baron Cobbold, and is held under the umbrella of Knebworth House Education and Preservation Trust (KHEPT).[3]
