Wedgwood desired my grandfather--who was a good Christian and a regular attendant at church--to make use of that pew ever after. And the good old man never missed attendance there on the Sabbath while he had strength to walk. And because the distance was too great to allow him to go home to dinner and return in time for afternoon service, he used to take his dinner with him in the morning, and stay and eat it in the church or schoolroom, or, when the weather was fine enough, in the churchyard. And Mr. Wedgwood was not ashamed to be represented in that family pew by my grandfather, altho’ the old man used to sound his way up the aisle in wooden clogs, which it was the custom of all workpeople to wear in those days in those parts. But although Mr. Wedgwood was content to be represented by his faithful servant in wooden clogs, there was an old lady, who sat in the pew behind Wedgwood’s, who seems to have objected; and so one week she managed to have taken down the partition between her pew and Wedgwood’s, and made the whole into one square pew for herself. Then my grandfather meekly took his place on the free benches, until, some time after this, Mr. Wedgwood happened to say to him one day at the works, ‘Well, how come you on at church, Jack?’ And my grandfather replied, ‘Well mester, th’ owd lady i’ the pew behind has made it all into a square un’, an’ turned me out. But I’m right enow on the free bench.’ ‘Ha!’ said Mr. Wedgwood. ‘I’ll see to that, Jack.’ And he did see to it, and undid the old lady’s improvements, restoring his pew as before. Ever after that my grandfather enjoyed his sitting without further interference, and continued every Sunday to sound his way up the aisle in his wooden clogs, with his dinner in his pocket, until at last, at a good age, he was taken ill. Mr. Wedgwood went to see him immediately, and sent his own physician to attend him; but after a few day’s illness he died.’” * * * * * _Keeling._--James Keeling, in 1796, patented improvements in decorative and glazing processes, and, in conjunction with Valentine Close, some improvements in ovens, kilns, and processes of firing. His ware was of remarkably good quality, and some of the services were decorated with series of scenes and views. * * * * * _Booth & Co._--These potters were makers of a red ware--a kind of terra cotta--in which they produced various articles more or less ornamented with medallions, wreaths, or other decorations, in relief; sometimes of the same colour as the body, and at others in black.
