Thomas Whitty began making Axminster method carpets in 1755. His original Axminster carpet could be found in Chatsworth House and Brighton Pavilion as well as being bought by King George III and Queen Charlotte, who visited the factory. The industry flourished in Axminster until 1835 when the looms were relocated to Wilton. Google with the Archive Organization has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries.
