Written by Eileen Dew, a former employee, with the help of Sally Hendry from Westbury Heritage Society & Westbury Museum, “The Pinnigers” tells the story of the Westbury law firm, Pinniger Finch & Co. and the role it has played in the history of the town.
Pinniger Finch is the oldest firm in Westbury and has been an important part of the town for over 200 years. “It has come a long way from those early days of Henry Pinniger working by gas light marking his documents by quills and ink and dealing with everything from gamekeepers’ licences to poor relief, courts and councils” said Bill White, senior partner at the firm today.
Still a thriving, well-respected legal practice, this book gives a fascinating look into this historic firm and a glimpse into life in Westbury in the 19th century.
