| Paxton & Whitfield's origins began in 1742 when Sam Cullen set up a cheese stall in London's Aldwych market. As the city became increasingly affluent Sam moved his cheese business closer to his wealthy customer base, on Jermyn Street, where the main shop still stands today. He also took on two new partners - Harry Paxton and Charles Whitfield. In 1850 Paxton & Whitfield was appointed cheesemonger to H.M. Queen Victoria. It was the first of many Royal Warrants that the company has held down to the present day. Paxton & Whitfield continue to offer all the essentials for the enjoyment of cheese and associated fine foods. As Sir Winston Churchill once commented "A gentleman only buys his cheese from Paxton & Whitfield". |
