This private bank traces its origins to John Freame and Thomas Gould, two Quaker goldsmith bankers who started a business in Lombard Street. There were a number of changes in the partnership of the bank, which of course lead to several changes to the partnership name. The first branch was known as Braclay, Bevan, Tritton, Ransom, Bouverie and Company, they were also known in the City as the ‘long firm. In the 19th Century the address of the bank was settled as 54 Lombard Street.
