Tom Wedgwood thank you for sharing this I have to tell you that when we researched and delivered our Wedgewood dining experience last December we unearthed some majorly charged creative energy. The connection we built to Josiahs life was significant. This has given us so much to go at through this year. If you believe in sycronicity of numbers, through the research I stumbled upon the coincidence that the year of Wedgwood creation (also the same as the year of his death 1759 and 1795 respectively) I added these numbers up to discover that the total was 22. It might sound odd but this has given us great impetus during this year 2022. It’s just the start for us. The connection that we made during the event to Josiah Wedgewoods legacy and achievements gave us such belief this year. I’m so thankful for that.

I love his simple grave but I've always thought it's neglected. Should be looked after better. There is normally a traffic cone on his statue outside Stoke station, which I'm sure he'd find hilarious. One could argue that Stoke would not exist without JW. Also a leading figure in abolitionist movement too. The Wedgewood fireplaces in Lady Lever, Port Sunlight, truly highlight his genius. Worth the trip to see them. Only around 8 left in the world I believe.
