Jackson and Walford, later known as Jackson, Walford, and Hodder was a British publishing firm based in London that was the predecessor of Hodder & Stoughton. The publishers with their successive name changes were one of many London publishers that operated around St. Paul's Churchyard and Paternoster Row.
Matthew Hodder apprenticed there from the age of fourteen and became a partner in 1861. Upon the retirement of Messrs. Jackson and Walford in 1868, Thomas Wilberforce Stoughton joined Hodder and the firm was renamed Hodder & Stoughton. The firm then published both religious and secular works and has survived into the present day as an imprint of Hodder Headline.
