Notes on W L Baron of Barnstaple
The story of Baron Pottery centres around its founder, William Leonard Baron who was a modeller, designer and potter. He was born in Sidmouth, South Devon, in 1863. He studied at Lambeth School of Art, and took up his first job at Doulton, Lambeth in the early 1880s. Some time in 1884 he moved down to Barnstaple to work at the Brannam Pottery where he stayed for 9 years, designing and making much fine pottery.
In 1893 he starting his own company, Baron Pottery at Rolle Quay near Barnstaple.
Baron pottery is collected for its quality of design rather than finish.
