Henry Goodwyn, son of John Goodwyn; b. 11th March 1713, d. 31st July 1805, buried at Deptford Church; m. 1st, Frances Greenwood, who d. 1765; m. 2nd, a widow named Groombridge. [Mr. Goodwyn’s 2nd wife d. at Hawkhurst, Kent. in 1816 or 1817]. In early life Mr. Goodwyn served in the Royal Navy; subsequently entered the Mercantile Marine of the Hon. East India Company, and made several voyages to China, amassed a considerable fortune, and purchased a brewery at Deptford. He resided near Palace Yard, Westminster; in Essex Street, Strand; at East Lodge, Enfield Chase; at Maize Hill Castle, Blackheath; and at Park House, Maidstone, where he died in 1805. He was High Sheriff of Kent 1767,/....n 1784................. Henry Goodwyn, ranked London’s seventh brewer in terms of output, became the first to commission a Boulton and Watt engine; an order from Whitbread, the leading brewer, followed a month later. Boulton and Watt’s design itself was protected, of course, but its installation required various adaptations in the brewhouse must have generated valuable experience; we might expect Goodwyn to have sought patents, or simply to have kept the information to himself. Instead, he went out of his way to offer himself as an advisor to others planning to introduce steam, including his brewery rivals....The point was to confirm Goodwyn’s status – notwithstanding that his output was only half of Whitbread’s – within the charmed circle of large-scale brewers. Goodwyn’s magnanimity was intrinsically restricted to that circle: for all their one-upmanship, the greatest brewers made collective agreements on issues such as retail pricing and were in many ways almost a cartel, safe in the knowledge that no competitor could raise the capital to oppose them..... Unrestricted disclosure, then, was harmless so long as no outsider was in a position to use the information disclosed.
