The Favell brothers of Sheffield

As well as producing many Doctors, Surgeons and even an Arch Deacon, the Sheffield family also produced some silversmiths and wine merchants.

The commemorative glass and silver beaker on the right was manufactured by Rupert Favell of Sheffield and is today on display at Greys Court, a National Trust property near Henley-on-Thames.

Susan Roe produced a piece on the Favell brothers for the Scissors, Paper, Stone blog, charting some of the history of St John’s Church, Ranmoor, and has kindly given permission to share it via the link below.
