Arthur Thomas Beeching, banker and J.P. for Kent, son of Horatio Beeching, banker and Susanna Beeching [Pierce] Printer friendly version

Arthur Thomas Beeching was born at The Elms in Tonbridge on 25th July 1836 to Horatio and Susanna Beeching. He was the third generation of Beechings which ran the Banking business originally created by his grandfather Thomas and expanded by his father Horatio. Arthur was also a benefactor to Tonbridge, J.P. for Kent, treasurer of the governing bodies for 32 years and president of numerous clubs and societies.

Arthur Thomas Beeching died in February 1912.
