Joseph Rowntree c1910
Merchant Adventurers' Hall
You might recognise some of the names of the Merchant Adventurers – there have been several famous members over the years.
Do the names Rowntree and Terry mean anything to you? You might have seen them on chocolate bar wrappers.
The chocolate makers Joseph Rowntree and Joseph Terry were both Merchant Adventurers and members of their families are still part of the Company.
In fact over the years several members of each family have taken on the role of Governor of the Company.
