Page "Farnham" Paragraph 47

Since Roman times the wealden clay of the area has been exploited for pottery and brickmaking.

Pottery continued on a small-scale commercial basis until the closure of Farnham Pottery at Wrecclesham in 1998, when it passed to the Farnham Buildings Preservation Trust.

Farnham Pottery, in addition to utility wares, became famous during the Arts and crafts movement for their decorative wares, either hand-thrown or moulded and decorated in a variety of coloured glazes, particularly " Farnham Greenware ".

There was close co-operation between the pottery and Farnham School of Art ( now a campus of University for the Creative Arts ).
