He founded Barclays Bank in 1690. Early lifeJohn Freame was born in 1666 in Cirencester, England, baptised on 11th November[1]. His father was Robert Freame. In 1683, he was apprenticed to Job Bolton, a Quaker goldsmith based in Lombard Street.[2] CareerUpon completion of his apprenticeship, he gained his Freedom of the City on 7 April 1690, giving him the right to open a business within the City. Freame went into partnership with Thomas Gould, a fellow Quaker.

Barclays, who continued to trade from the site in Lombard Street, became identified with the Spread Eagle which was then adopted as the official coat of arms for the Bank in 1937.

In 1713 he published Scripture Instruction: Digested into Several Sections by Way of Questions & Answers in Order to Promote Piety & Virtue, and Discourage Vice & Immorality, with a Preface Relating to Education[4] Personal lifeFreame married Priscilla, Thomas Gould's sister (Thomas married Hannah, John's sister)[4] on 19th October 1697 at the Friends' Meeting at Devonshire House, London.[5] John and Priscilla had eight children including:
