86 THE WEDGWOODS. 



one member of the family has been immortalised in song, 

 thus : 



" At Yearsley there are pancheons made 

 By Willie Wedgwood, that young blade." 



For this interesting fragment of a Yorkshire ballad I am 

 indebted to my friend, the Rev. Robert Pulleine, Rector of 

 Kirkby Wiske. 



Pancheons, it may be well to note, are thick coarse 

 earthenware pans, made of various sizes, and used for 

 setting away milk in, and for washing purposes. They are 

 made in several localities, and, besides being sold by 

 earthenware dealers, are hawked about the country by men 

 who make their living in no other way.
