In 1705 Hugh Mason had a small shop in St James’s Market and a spare room in his house. Meanwhile, William Fortnum worked as a footman in Queen Anne’s household - and rented that spare room at Mr Mason’s. The Royal Family’s insistence on having new candles every night, meant a lot of half-used wax for an enterprising young footman to sell on at a profit and eventually, William’s enlightened sideline melted down into enough to start a respectable business in partnership with his landlord. The rest, as they say, is grocery.You may also like:Tea PalaceThe WolseleyWild at Heart
