Winchcombe Pottery

Founded in 1926 and a hundred years old in 2026 — an anniversary marked with its own museum exhibition up the road at Court Barn — Winchcombe is among the longest-running craft potteries in the country, still making traditional domestic stoneware fired with wood. Ray Finch arrived in 1936, owned the pottery from 1946, and worked into his nineties before his death in 2012; the team that followed keeps every stage of production on site, and the shop sells the results beside the workshop. Weekday hours with Saturdays; Sundays the kiln rests.
