John Cobbold (1746–1835) was a prominent business man in Ipswich. At the age of 22 he started running Cliff Brewery, part of the family brewing business established by his grandfather, Thomas Cobbold (1680–1752). More than thirty men of the Cobbold family have been named John, but he was known as "Big John". He not only greatly expanded the family business but also had 22 children.
