John Freame, to whom Barclays' history is usually traced, traded as a goldsmith in Lombard Street from with Thomas Gould. The 'Barclay' names entered the business in when James Barclay, who had married John Freame's daughter Sarah, joined the partnership and his name took precedence.
Other north-eastern banks that joined the Barclays Group soon after were Woods and Company of Newcastle founded , Swaledale and Wensleydale Banking Company founded c. Barclays opened its first corporate banking office at Belfast in , intended to provide services to local, British and international customers.
Barclays opened a state-of-the-art computer centre in Wythenshawe, Manchester in It served branches across the north of England, managing more than 2. The first member of the Barclay family to be involved in banking was James Barclay, the son of a Scotsman.
John Freame was also a partner in a banking business which had developed from his trade and which began operating from the Lombard Street premises in In James became a partner in this firm, from which Barclays Bank Plc traces its origins.
Barclays was first represented in Kent with the opening of a branch in Tunbridge Wells in around The Bank's agent was John Nash who also ran the library and post office. The Consolidated Bank was a combination of a number of Cornish banks and had come into being between Not too far away, the bank of Lock, Hulm and Co was established in Pembroke in , and had also opened a branch in Tenby before it was taken over by the Bank of Wales in Barclays first entered Yorkshire directly from onwards, but had been acting as London agents for a number of Yorkshire banks before this e.
A number of the constituent Yorkshire banks go back to the lateth century, the earliest of these being Pease and Co. Barclays business can be traced back to two Quakers called John Freame and Thomas Gould, who established themselves as goldsmith bankers in Lombard Street in the City of London in Their business flourished, helped in no small part by its Quaker connections.
They financed Quaker traders in the new colonies in America and the Caribbean, they helped to finance the Pennsylvania Land Company, and they were actively involved in Quaker-dominated companies like the London Lead Company and the Welsh Copper Company. The latter produced silver as a by-product, which Freame and Gould sold to the Royal Mint. They were also the closest thing the Quakers had to an official banker, holding the Society Of Friends' central funds known as the national stock.
Beyond his bank, John Freame was a very well-respected and influential character. He served as clerk to the Yearly Meeting the Quakers' annual gathering attended by local representatives from all over the country , and published a book called 'Scripture Instruction' which was used in Quaker schools.
He also campaigned for greater toleration for the Quakers, achieving the right to make an affirmation rather than swear an oath, and the right to be prosecuted before magistrates rather than in the church courts. James was the son of David Barclay by his first wife, Ann.
This rather complicated state of affairs meant that James Barclay's stepmother was also his sister-in-law, but is quite typical of the way the Quakers ran their lives and businesses. Family, religious and business ties were inextricably linked. James Barclay had a strong business and Quaker background.
By this time, the partners were amassing fortunes which may have seemed at odds with the Quaker principles of simple and plain living, but it is important to remember that a Quaker who went bankrupt was disowned by the Society.
