Cobbold family
The Cobbold family became prominent in Ipswich and Suffolk in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The family is best known for its involvement in the brewing industry and as the driving force behind Ipswich Town Football Club, both as an amateur and professional team. The family also became involved in shipping, the railways and banking. Beyond the family's commercial interests which were largely centred on Ipswich, Cobbolds and their kin found success and influence on a much wider stage in almost every sphere of human endeavour, including the arts, public and political service both at home and in the service of Empire, military service, the sciences, religion and sport.
