AN INDUSTRIAL AND POTTERY WALK ROUND BUCKLEY - NUMBER 7

 

Several old pottery families are buried here. In the graveyeard is a pottery monument to a little gypsy girl named Hannah Krohn. She died in 1876, and is believed to be a daughter of a gypsy family who were on a pot-purchasing visit to the town. Near the lych-gate is a memorial stone to Frederick Birks, V.C., M.M. who died in France during WWI. He was serving with the Australian forces.
