  • Terracotta Reredos, Pulpit and Font
    Terracotta reredos, pulpit and font The reredos, pulpit and font were gifts from the makers, Messrs Doulton of Lambeth in London, in 1886. They were executed in terracotta with glazed details to the designs of George Tinworth (see below). The font is placed by the door as a reminder that baptism is the start of our Christian journey. Four scenes represent Jesus in the manger, Hannah bringing Samuel to Eli, the finding of Moses, and the Saviour blessing little children. Four panels in between read “Ye shall not enter into / the Kingdom of Heaven / except ye be converted & become as little children”. Eight glazed decorative columns support the deep glazed font bowl. The pulpit is based on an octagonal design and the glazed columns and tiles can be seen at their best here. The terracotta base and top of the columns again show the attention to detail. The reredos is in the form of a triptych, with a shelf for the cross and candles. The central panel shows the Ascension and the side panels depict Christ appearing to St. Thomas and the Betrayal. High-relief figures stand against a low-relief background, with details of ascending doves and a town barely visible unless caught by the light. The panels are of the highest quality craftsmanship and detail and the terracotta has a warm glow. The Royal Doulton Company was an English company, founded in 1815, producing tableware and collectables. By 1871, the company launched a studio at the Lambeth pottery in London and offered work to designers and artists from the nearby Lambeth School of Art.

    Archaeological and Historic Pottery Production Sites Guidelines for Best Practice Summary This document provides practical guidance on how to investigate sites where pottery production has taken place. It describes how to anticipate and locate pottery production sites and the types of evidence that may be found. This document also provides advice on the available methods and strategies for examining, recording and sampling features and finds of various types at each stage of the work. The different techniques for establishing the date of pottery production, and for characterising the products of a site, are given particular emphasis. This document was compiled by Harriet White, Sarah Paynter and Duncan Brown with contributions by Joanne Best, Chris Cumberpatch, David Dawson, Peter Ellis, Jane Evans, Laurence Jones, Oliver Kent, Gareth Perry, The Prince’s Regeneration Trust, Ian Roberts, Kerry Tyler and Ann Woodward.

    Swansea Pottery from 1811 to Its Closure in 1870 By Arleen and Grahame Tanner THE BEVINGTONS AND TRANSFER-PRINTING AT SWANSEA. 1811-1824 After the departure of George Haynes from the Swansea Pottery, Haynes, in spite of being a trustee of the Cambrian Pottery, went ahead and purchased the adjoining property for his own use. Once the site was bought Haynes then decided to set up a soap works on this adjacent site. This action exacerbated the rift between L.W.Dillwyn and Haynes. The smell from the soap works was so pernicious as Dillwyn had expected that he took Haynes to court and won. Haynes and allies had, therefore, no option but to shut the soap works, the site thereof was then integrated into the Pottery.
