Charles Whittingham (1767-1840), printer, was a highly successful businessman, printing almanacs and religious tracts in their thousands. Later in his career, he specialised in printing illustrated books. Whittingham left bequests to the Stationers’ Company, Printers’ Pension Society, and poor of Chiswick. His bequest to the Company consisted of 2000 pounds three pounds percent consolidated bank annuities. The annual produce of which was to go towards six poor widows of either compositors or pressmen, with preference for widows whose husbands had been in his employ. It was required that the widows be fifty years of age or older and would continue in the support only for as long as they remained widows.
