History
Jackson and Walford from 1861 was a London publishing firm and predecessor firm of Hodder & Stoughton. Situated at 18 St Paul's Churchyard and 27 Paternoster Row in 1871 (which was the former address of the later Ward & Co.).
They published the Congregational Year Books, which were the publications of the "Congregational Union of England and Wales, and the Confederated Societies."[1]
Matthew Hodder apprenticed there from the age of fourteen and became a partner in 1861. Upon the retirement of Messrs. Jackson and Walford in 1868, Thomas Wilberforce Stoughton joined Hodder and the firm was renamed Hodder & Stoughton. The firm then published both religious and secular works and has survived into the present day as an imprint of Hodder Headline.
