Abstract
R. J. Nevill Ltd is a small company which includes a printing business, a sub-post office and a retail shop. It was founded in 1785 in Park Street, Willerton, by a local engraver, Robin Nevill, and has remained a small business, so that in 1976 it employed eighteen people and had a turnover of £87,523. In December 1975 the owner, Harry Brown, who had been suffering from multiple sclerosis for some six years, died and his young family was faced with deciding their own future and that of the company.
