LORO OF' THE MAtt0R OF HEATH HAVES STAFFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL, EDUCATION DEPAR TMENT. IN APPRECIATION It is with regret that this booklet will be the last venture produced by the Staffordshire Authority under the inspiration and guidance of Mr. R.A. Lewis, as historical resource material for schools. Publi­ cation of the volume coincides with the retirement of Roy Lewis, a former Headteacher of Lydney School, Gloucestershire, after some 21 years of service in the Authority as County Inspector for History. When it was first known that he was thinking of a cessation of his Staffordshire duties, a quick count was made of our piles of his 'source books' . Our stock of his well known 'Green Books' (Local History Source Books) and 'Blue Books' (Teachers Guides and Study Books) totalled, amazingly, just over 100 volumes, ·a mountain of his­ torical source material ' made available for use within our schools - a notable achievement. Stimulating, authoritative and challenging, they have outlined our local historical heritage in clear and concise form, and have brought the local history of Staffordshire to the prominence that it justly deserves. These volumes have either been written by him or employed the willing­ ly volunteered services of Staffordshire teachers. Whatever the agency behind the pen it is obvious that forward planning, correlation of text and pictorial aspects, financial considerations for production runs, organisation of print-run time with a busy print room, distri­ bution of booklets throughout Staffordshire schools etc.

Staffordshire is supposed to have but little actual history. It has even been called the playground of great people who lived elsewhere. But this reproach will not bear investigation.

  • Proceedings Wesley Historical Society
    Proceedings OF THE Wesley Historical Society Editor: E. ALAN ROSE, B.A. Volume 56 May 2007 SIDELIGHTS ON THE ORIGINS OF PRIMITIVE METHOD ISM IN NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE n May this year many Methodists will make their pilgrimage to Mow Cop to celebrate the bicentenary of the first English Camp I Meeting, following in the footsteps of their forebears who came on their hajj to the Jubilee, Centenary, and 150th anniversary camp meetings. The rugged landscape of Mow Cop, together with the romantic nostalgia generated at each of the big anniversary celebrations, has done much to create the popular image of Primitive Methodism. More than that it has influenced the way that religious and social historians interpret what they perceive to be the natural birth place of Primitive Methodism. In a recent radio programme, Professor Robert CoIls encapsulated this in his explanation of why the first camp meeting was held at Mow Cop. This is a theological landscape - a landscape in a tradition - a tradition not just of Wesley speaking to people but I suppose even right back into the New Testament and Jesus's Sermon on the Mount where he takes a commanding prospect and can look down upon the world. There is this wonderful sense of command which people like Bourne and Clowes wanted. The other thing is, as centres such as the English Local Studies Centre at Leicester have shown that dispersed settlements such as this, moorland fell, coastal settlements, were incredibly attractive to Primitive Methodism, because the kind of people that controlled England then did not control things up here.

WEDGWOOD, M.P., C.C. Hon. Sec. of the William Salt Archaeological Society. LONDON SAMPSON LOW, MARSTON & CO. LTD. kon Si 710620 DEDICATED TO MY CONSTITUENTS, WHO DO THE WORK CONTENTS Chapter I. The Creation of the Potteries. II. A Peasant Industry. III. Elersand Art. IV. The Salt Glaze Potters. V. The Beginning of the Factory. VI. Wedgwood and Cream Colour. VII. The End of the Eighteenth Century. VIII. Spode and Blue Printing. IX. Methodism and the Capitalists. X. Steam Power and Strikes. XI. Minton Tiles and China. XII. Modern Men and Methods. vy PREFACE THIS account of the potting industry in North Staffordshire will be of interest chiefly to the people of North Stafford- shire. They and their fathers before them have grown up with, lived with, made and developed the English pottery trade. The pot-bank and the shard ruck are, to them, as familiar, and as full of old associations, as the cowshed to the countryman or the nets along the links to the fishing popula- tion. To them any history of the development of their industry will be welcome. But potting is such a specialized industry, so confined to and associated with North Stafford- shire, that it is possible to study very clearly in the case of this industry the cause of its localization, and its gradual change from a home to a factory business.
