| | The History of Wortley Byers | |
Wortley Byers LLP can be traced back to Stamp Wortley which was a well established solicitors’ firm with offices in Brentwood, Chelmsford and Witham. The Brentwood office was then at 2 High Street, Brentwood.
On 1 January 1967, the Brentwood firm of Stamp Wortley amalgamated with another Brentwood firm called Gerald Byers Lewis & Co based at 96 Queens Road and the firm name changed to Wortley Byers & Co. The firm was severed from that of Stamp Wortley which continued to practise at Chelmsford and Witham.
On 15 December 1969, the firm moved to Regency House, 38 Ingrave Road, Brentwood. Regency House was owned by the Roman Catholic Church. The freehold was transferred to two of the Partners of Wortley Byers & Co, Mr Carroll and Mr Robertson, in exchange for the freehold of 96 Queens Road and the surrender to the Church of the lease at 2 High Street.
By 1997 the name had been shortened to Wortley Byers and because the firm required room to expand, a new lease of office premises in Crown Street was taken. Subsequently that part of the firm operating from Crown Street moved to the top floor of Cathedral Place and in January 2003 the remainder of the firm took occupation of the rest of Cathedral Place.
