from the Fishley Holland family at Clevedon, Somerset. In 1971 he was
asked to join the team at Winchcombe Pottery where his
throwing skills soon became legendry among past and present colleagues.

His personal "EH" mark (a metal carpenters stamp inherited from his grandfather)
and the Winchcombe mark can clearly be seen at the base.
