The Tennant family fortune was made in 1800 from the invention of bleach and by 1830 their chemical factory in Glasgow was the largest in the world. The Tennants had been poor subsistence farmers but became the first of the new rich of Britain's Industrial Revolution. The Tennant history is possibly the most perfect example of a family that rose through energy and enterprise only to crumble once that hard-earned platform had been achieved.
