27 Page PDF File - Sophia Tite Toogood (1822-1895), the author’s 2nd great grandmother, was a direct descendant of a line of Tite ancestors that stretches all the way back to Walter Tite (1567-1650), my 10th great grandfather, who was steward to Mervyn Touchet, 2nd Earl of Castlehaven (1593-1631). Walter was the primogenitor of a line of Tites who made their money and their names as ‘worsted hosiers’ in Stalbridge, Dorset. This fine woollen hosiery was amongst the best produced in the Kingdom and would have been bought and worn by the wealthy and the aristocratic. Eventually, fashions evolved and their product lost its attraction, the trade in Stalbridge both dying out in practice as well as fading from the history books.
