1878

"In 1873, Mr. W. E. Withinshaw entered upon the Churchyard Works, and produced dinner, lea, toilet, and other services; vases, jugs, teapots, kettles, and jug stands: trinket and fancy articles: candlesticks, and all the usual varieties of useful and ornamental goods, both plain, printed, painted, enamelled, and gilt. In toilet services, he introduced many designs of novel character. In vases, also, Mr. Withinshaw produced some good designs, and the decoration was judiciously arranged. In jet ware, all the usual articles - teapots, kettles, jugs, spill-cases, etc. - were made. The impressed mark was W. E. WITHINSHAW; and on the dinner ware was printed the name of the pattern, with the initials W.E.W.

Mr. Withinshaw's connection with the Churchyard Works ceased in 1878, when he was succeeded by Francis Joseph Emery."
