William Orme Foster, owner of the Stourbridge Ironworks

1820s

William Orme Foster was the son of William Foster, the brother of James Foster who owned many ironworks in Worcestershire and Staffordshire.  He worked for his uncle in Wollaston and after James’s death in 1853 he inherited his large fortune.  He moved to live at Stourton Castle and remained there until the lease ran out in 1867 when he moved to Apley Park near Bridgnorth.
He was elected as a Liberal M.P. for South Staffordshire in 1857 but lost his seat in 1868.  He paid for and endowed Wollaston Schools and St James’s Church and the Stourbridge Ironworks was the centre of his many Black Country enterprises.
He died on 29th September 1899.

Learning about William Orme Foster and his connection to the prominent ironworks in Worcestershire and Staffordshire is fascinating. His transition from working at his uncle’s establishment in Wollaston to inheriting a considerable fortune after James Foster’s passing in 1853 is fantastic. Furthermore, his move to Stourton Castle and later to Apley Park near Bridgnorth highlights the critical shifts in his life. One can only wonder if his newfound wealth and change of scenery influenced his lifestyle, perhaps even inspiring his interest in fine dining and culinary arts. It wouldn’t be surprising if he sought the services of a cookery assignment writer to document his gastronomic incidents during this period, shedding light on the culinary tastes and trends of the time.
