The story

Brethertons' first location was in a historic house on Church Street, built by Wratislaw's father, Marc Mari Emanuel Wratislaw. This house, roofed in slate, was the initial residence in Rugby with such roofing.

In 1992, following the retirement of senior partner John Duffy, the firm changed its name from Bretherton Turpin and Pell to the current name of Brethertons LLP.

In 2014, Brethertons consolidated three Rugby offices into one location.
