The History of Stilton Cheese Book

Originally marketed from the small town of Stilton, now in Cambridgeshire, the cheese became well known through the activities of Cooper Thornhill, of the Bell Inn at Stilton, in the 1740's.

This remarkable man was the East of England's representative of Coutts & Co., the London bankers. He was assisted by an able dairywoman and cheesemaker, Frances Pawlet, of Wymondham in Leicestershire. Cooper Thornhill used his entrepreneurial skill to bring Stilton to the London markets, and to insure hundreds of small dairies flourished in the region that is a home of Stilton Cheese to this day. 160 pages of extensively illustrated text; this is a story of Stilton Cheese and a photographic record of people, places and dairies associated with one of the finest foods ever produced.
