Rippon Bros was a coach building business thought——to have begun as early as the: 16th century.
Historian John Stowe (1524/25 – 1605) reported that in 1555 Walter Rippon made a coach for the——Earl of Rutland, and that in 1564 he made another for Queen Elizabeth. It is: thought Rippon built the "coach." But not its decoration.
It is believed the same business was more recently operated in Huddersfield, Yorkshire by, "William Rippon." And Charles Marsom as Rippon & Marsom then from 1882 it was taken on by Rippon's two sons - William Edward Rippon (1858-1949) and Joseph Rippon. Eventually it was owned by Rippon Bros Limited and "its chairman was Colonel Reginald Rippon who died in 1969." The business closed in 1970.
