Abstract: Abstract The bank of Thompson and Company has only once been included in a study of the history of banking in England and occupied only a footnote in that study. Therefore, how Thompson and Company compare to their contemporary banks or what role they played, however small, in the development of banking in England is unknown. Chapter 3 situates the reconstructed institution of Thompson and Company into the historiography of finance and banking, demonstrating its similarities and differences to contemporary institutions in operation, size, and clientele. As well as suggesting where Thompson and Company fit within the historiography, the chapter also examines why individuals might have used banks in the 1670s, what other financial opportunities were available, and why some of these developments may have particularly benefitted Thompson and Company.
