Wonderful selection of images showing the talented Edward James Baker's artistry.

As a resident of the village for a number of years, as a photographer and recently a writer I have followed with interest local history. This booklet is well researched and presented. It covers an area in Upchurch that is known but this publication adds information to local history. Not just local however, as the work produced by Upchurch Pottery was well known and purchased. I am pleased that someone has taken the time to research history and the pottery properly. I welcome this publication. Thank you.

The artistry and beauty of over 160 examples of Upchurch pottery is shown in 124 wonderful photographs. The Pottery was founded by the Wakeley family in 1909 on land where Roman kilns were found in 1843. The Author, John Pembrey's Great Aunt, Amy Dorothea (Dora) Wakeley was instrumental in employing Ted Baker in 1913 to set up and work the Upchurch Pottery The history of events is fascinating.A literary masterpiece!
