Farnham Pottery
The Farnham Pottery is one of the best preserved examples of a working Victorian country pottery left in England.
- Farnham Pottery as it looks today.
A major pottery industry has existed in the Farnham area since Roman times and in the 16th Century supplied London with a substantial part of its pottery requirements.
In its heyday, the Pottery operated its own clay pits, had four working kilns and employed up to 30 men.
The business could name the Queen Mother and Gertrude Jekyll amongst its customers, as well as supplying shops like Heals and Liberty’s of London.
The Pottery still contains many examples of the original moulds and a number of local houses were built using architectural fittings made on this site. Fine examples can still be seen within a few hundred yards of the pottery.
Today, the Grade 2 listed building is owned by the Farnham Building Preservation Trust and is now home to Smith & Causey, Froyle Tiles, West Street Potters and Farnham Sculpture Group.
The pottery has disabled access and is located off Quennells Hill in Wrecclesham.
