Castle Hedingham Pottery

Bingham produced some large items, with 'Essex' jugs up to three feet high being typical.

Edward Bingham (1829–1914)[1] was the son of a Lambeth potter who had set up in Gestingthorpe, Essex making mostly functional ware.

[2] In 1894, he showed his work at the Art and Industries Exhibition at the Albert Hall.

It was sold two years later to Hexter, Humpherson & Co., of Newton Abbot, and operated under the name of the " Essex Art Pottery" until its closure in 1905.

[2] Bingham continued to make pots there for a while, and then in a temporary workshop for a few months, before joining the rest of his family in the United States in 1906.
