Family patriarch John Horniman established the tea company that bore his name in 1826 which went on to become one of the best-known brands of nineteenth-century Britain. His son Frederick created the eclectic and wonderful Horniman Museum in London, and his granddaughter Annie was a theatrical impresario responsible for founding Ireland's national theatre, the Abbey.
