Wentworth, Daniel, Cambridge, cm and u (1792–d. 1822). Succeeded by: Wentworth, Joseph, cm, u, auctioneer, appraiser and undertaker (1817–1849). Daniel Wentworth is recorded at the corner of St John St, 1792 and in Bridge St, 1805–08. His label is recorded: ‘D. Wentworth, Cabinet Maker, St. John's Street, Cambridge’, printed on card and tacked to the back of a mahogany bow-fronted chest of drawers. Subscribed to Sheraton's Drawing Book, 1793. The Cambridge Chronicle and Journal, 10 October 1817 carried the announcement ‘D. Wentworth, Upholsterer, corner of St. John's Street’ thanks his customers ‘for the liberal support he has been honoured with for upward of 30 years’ and that he was resigning the business to his son Joseph. The Wentworth family monument in Holy Sepulchre Church records Daniel's death in 1822. Joseph Wentworth ‘Upholsterer, Auctioneer, Appraiser’ followed his father's announcement in the paper that he has succeeded his father in the Businesses of Upholsterer, Undertaker … and every article in the Cabinet line made to order’. He became a freeman of the Corporation on 7 October 1818, paying a fee of ten guineas. He is listed in Pigot's Directories, 1823–24, 1830 and 1839. From 1832–49 regular payments are recorded in the accounts of Trinity College, that of 1840 listing for the Combination Room ‘New Chairs, New Tables etc.’, £269 2s 6d. The chairs communion rails and communion table in Holy Sepulchre Church were ‘furnished’ by Wentworth c. 1845. He seems to have covered a wide area in his work as an auctioneer, an example being the sale advertised on 14 October 1831 of the cabinet and upholstery stock of William Edwards in Stamford. Joseph Wentworth also acted as an estate agent and paper-hanger. Wentworth is recorded as taking one app., John Adams from 13 April 1825 for a fee of £15. [D; Furn. Hist., 1978; Cambs.
