Henry Barnwell, whose name is painted above the shop doorway on the corner opposite the entrance to the station, moved to Matlock from Warwickshire and founded the family business in 18761. The shop named after him was still advertising in the trades directories as selling jewellery, watches and china in 19162, though the premises became a bank shortly afterwards. After Henry's death his widow, Hannah (nee Ludlam), who was his second wife, took over at first but she too died and the business was then run by Harry William Barnwell, Henry's son3. The Barnwells were members of the Matlock United Reformed Church.4 Harry William also married twice; his first marriage was in 1890 to Ann Ludlam and, following her death in 1906, he married Eliza Ludlam in 1907. Both marriages took place at Matlock Bank's Congregational Chapel.
