This High Street office
is our base
And makes a truly splendid place
For all our Thurlow business tasks,
'And what are those?' you may well ask,
Well, we're corn merchants first of all
But Frank then answered Wycombe's call
And that's when Thurlows came to be
The new South Bucks Society,
(A place to help our
building needs
So folk can save to buy the deeds
Of their new houses on the hill)
But we've gone one step better still,
For Tom designs what they now buy
Around the town or by the Rye,
So we are big in Wycombe terms
But we work hard for what we earn.
The Thurlow boys were descended from James Thurlow of Bridge Mill. They
were still working in these premises before the First World War.
Thomas
Thurlow was the son of James and Ellen
Thurlow. He became an architect.
His son, Eric, married Audrey Clarke, the daughter of Arthur
and
Minnie Clarke of Castle Hill House.
