As part of Heritage Open Days, The Burton is presenting a mini-exhibition of ceramics selected from its archive, displaying works not typically accessible to the public. This will focus on the relationship between Bideford’s history of ceramics and international maritime trade, both of which saw the town’s influence stretch across the globe. Come along on Sunday 14 September to hear more about this fascinating topic from Sadie Green, an expert in North Devon Pottery and its export to the Eastern seaboard of America in Elizabethan times. Sadie’s talk is free to attend but booking is required.
