Background
History
The Lion Brewery was founded in 1743 by Richard Tawney (1684–1756), a former boat master of Upper Fisher Row, just off St Thomas' Street in Oxford. It passed to his elder son, also Richard Tawney (1721–1791), and as he left no male heir, it then passed to his younger brother Edward Tawney (1735–1800). In 1797, Edward Tawney formed a partnership with Mark and James Morrell, whose uncle was a prominent Oxford solicitor, with a view to them buying out his interest. James Morrell (1773–1855) eventually became the sole owner of the brewery, and he was succeeded by his son, also James Morrell (1810–1863).
