The brewery was founded in 1634, as advertised in their later beer labels, and bought by Thomas Tomson in 1680. It was registered as a private company in 1892. Tomson & Wotton merged with Gardner & Co Ltd of Ash in 1851 to form Combined Breweries, although the names of both companies continued to be used. The much loved brewery was swept up in the wave of late 1960s acquisitions by Whitbread and closed within months.
