Our story begins with Derbyshire born William Billingsley in 1758 who apprenticed at the William Duesbury Derby China Works 1774. After leaving Derby in 1795, Billngsley came into contact with Samuel Walker, who later married his daughter Sarah in 1812. The pair arrived at Nantgarw in late 1813.
The Nantgarw China Works site is much larger and more complex than most people think and includes the original pottery site, bottle kilns and three separate buildings including all three floors of Nantgarw House. To give our visitors the optimal experience everyone is given a free one hour guided tour included within the very low admission price of just £2.50.
