The Bevington family of potters |
The Bevington family were prolific potters in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. Starting with the father Samuel (b.1808 d.1863), between them they owned or worked 12 pottery factories. NOTE: dates are approximate and may overlap, sources include trade directories and so entries may be missing for some years. Also some of the works may have been shared with other potters - it was not uncommon for works to be sub-let.

# John Bevington at the Elm Street Works - from 1866 passed into the hands of W. L. Evans & Co (the '& Co' probably includes John Bevington). In 1867-69 Bevington is still recorded as having an interest in the Elm Street Works as "Bailey & Bevington" $ John Bevington & Co recorded at the Brunswick Street Works in 1865. William L Evans was recorded at the Brunswick Street Works in 1869 & 70. ± From 1892 to 1899 George Bevington and Arthur John Bevington operated the Kensington Works as 'Kensington Fine Art Pottery' - presumably these were the sons of John Bevington (the grandsons of Samuel Bevington)
