Heritage + Gifts

Clay was discovered at Denby in the early 1800s and pottery has been made on this site since 1809 when the pottery was established by the Bourne family.

The Bournes continued to own Denby until 1942 and today their name is still very much present at the Visitor Centre as the name of the restaurant.

For two centuries Denby has made the pottery of everyday living - a tradition that continues today with tableware that meets the demands of the modern lifestyle.
