Our packed day will include details of the latest research projects from PhD students at Keele University, an update from the Victoria County History together with the latest archaeological finds and developments in the County.
We are delighted to welcome our keynote speakers; Miranda Goody and Gareth Williams.
Miranda is a Historic Ceramics Specialist. She worked as Senior Ceramics Curator at the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery for 27 years. Miranda will focus on Enoch Wood, Burslem modeller, pottery manufacturer, colliery owner, inveterate collector and historian who set out to collect contemporary documents relating to Burslem – from political pamphlets to a threatening note found in the keyhole of his factory.
Gareth is the Curator and Head of Learning to the Weston Park Foundation. He has worked with the collections since 2006 and is author of several books including The Country Houses of Shropshire (Boydell Press, 2021), and Weston Park: The House, The Family and The Influence (Boydell Press, 2022).
