    The Ancestry of William Clowes Transcription of Sketch in the Primitive Methodist Magazine by A.A. Birchenough Part 1 ALTHOUGH belonging to the people, the principal founders of the Primitive Methodist Church were proud of their distinguished forbears, and of the wealthy families with which they were connected. Walford, who had married a niece of Hugh Bourne’s, asserts that “the ancestors of the Bourne family were Normans, and came into England with William the Conqueror. They settled in North Staffordshire, where their descendants, bearing the name of Bourne, are very numerous; but the estates obtained by the Conquest have long passed from the family, and are now in other hands.” Lorenzo Dow, whose preaching and writings influenced Hugh Bourne to hold his first Camp Meeting on the Cheshire slopes of Mow Hill, claimed descent from the same family of Staffordshire Parkers, whose sons became entitled as the Earls of Macclesfield, and have played an important part in English national life. On his maternal side, William Clowes was descended from an old and distinguished family who for several centuries had been resident in North Staffordshire. Mrs. Ann Clowes, the mother of the great evangelist, was a daughter of Mr. Aaron Wedgwood, whom Clowes describes in his interesting “Journals” as “an extensive manufacturer in the pottery department in conjunction with Mr. William Littler.” These co-partners were brothers-in-law, for Mr. Aaron Wedgwood had married Littler’s sister. The mother of Mrs. Clowes was the daughter of a gentleman potter, who resided at a mansion at Brownhills, midway between the towns of Burslem and Tunstall.

  • The Ancestry of William Clowes
    The Ancestry of William Clowes Transcription of Sketch in the Primitive Methodist Magazine by A.A. Birchenough Part 2 In his autobiography William Clowes states that he was apprenticed to his uncle, Joseph Wedgwood, whose pottery was near Burslem Churchyard. “In his service I was taught to make small plates, and soon grew expert in my new employment. To encourage diligence, the task of making twenty-one dozen a day was allotted to me, which I performed with ease. Occasionally, however, my fondness for youthful diversions drew me into negligence, and my fear of punishment was such, that when only part of my work was done I entered it as completed, thus making my uncle the dupe of my trick- ery-” The “Churchyard Works” were situated on the North- Eastern side of Burslem Churchyard. In the days of William Clowes there was an open pathway leading through the extensive churchyard, and it was connected with one of the entrances leading direct to the works. In the seventeenth century the historical Churchyard Works were held by one of the cousins of William Clowes’ grandfather. After passing through many changes, they were rented by Mr. Joseph Wedgwood, one of the five brothers of William Clowes’ mother, who made jasper articles and other fine earthenware under the supervision and for the great Josiah Wedgwood. 1 There is a tendency on the part of some writers to belittle Josiah Wedgwood’s parentage by speaking of him “as a coarse, ignorant, diseased, impoverished workman, whose father was a poor potter at Burslem, barely able to make a living at his trade.” The father of Josiah was an earthenware manufacturer, and was forty-four years of age at the time of his son’s birth.
