Nutter, Thomas, Pound Hill, Cambridge, chairmaker (1763–d. 1765). First recorded on 19 April 1763 when it was agreed by the Corporation that Nutter could sink a saw pit on the Pound Hill. He had probably been in business in the town well before this however for when he died in August 1765 he was described as ‘an eminent and wealthy chairmaker of this town’ and was aged 79. In November 1764 advertised for two journeymen chairmakers. [Cambs. RO, Corp. day bk; Cambridge Chronicle, 17 November 1764, 13 August 1765]
