John Corbett The Salt King (628 words)
John Corbett, the son of Joseph Corbett of Brierley Hill, was born early in 1817 (the exact date is not recorded) and was baptised at St Michael's church in Brierley Hill on 29th June 1917.
Corbett was a philanthropic employer and did much to improve the working and living conditions for his employees as testified by a stained glass window in St Michael's Church, Stoke Prior, that was paid for by local folk.
Corbett could claim to trace his ancestry right back to the Norman conquest and he adopted the Corbet family emblem, a raven as his 'de facto' coat of arms.
