130 years of Bennett's pottery

Do you own a piece of Bennett’s pottery?

Charles William Bennett and his son William Charles worked at Trewenack’s Pottery in Kensington Gardens until 1887 when they established Bennett’s Magill Potteries. The soil in Magill was rich with terracotta clay, ideal for pottery. Their products included garden pots, tiles and stoneware jars.

The successful business is still managed by a Bennett, more than 130 years later.
