at Ampleforth Abbey most kindly allowed me to examine and 
photograph ; and Jewitt mentions a puzzle jug which used to be 
in the Museum of Practical Geology, London, having the same 
name on it, and the date 1691, in the same green lead glaze

A John Wedgwood made pots in Walmgate, York, in the 
beginning of the 18th century. 
The ware made by the Yorkshire Wedgwoods was the common 
hard brown ware made from the clays of the district, and consisted 
mainly of pitchers, pancheons, porringers, and other vessels of a 
homely kind. 
One member of the Wedgwood family has been immortalized 
in song, 
“ At Yearsley there are pancheons made, 
By Willie Wedgwood, that young blade."
