Debenham & Freebody, the traditional British department store, originated in a draper’s business founded in 1778 in London. In 1813 a partnership between William Debenham and Thomas Clark created the store known as ‘Clark and Debenham’. After Mr. Clark’s retirement, William was joined in the business by his son (also William) and William Junior’s brother-in-law, Clement Freebody; hence the 1851 ‘Debenham, Son and Freebody.’ Under the new generation of management, after William Sr.‘s retirement, the business became ‘Debenham and Freebody’ in 1863.
