Healey.
A mediæval pottery existed here, in the parish of Masham, in the North Riding of Yorkshire. Its site was on the spot where Healey church now stands, the ground bearing the name of “Potters Field.” When the church was erected in 1848 considerable quantities of “wasters” and fragments of pottery were dug up by the workmen.
Colsterdale.
A pottery of a similar character existed at this place on a spot called “Potter’s Pit.” Here many vessels have been found, as well as the clay pits which had been worked for their manufacture. The place was, according to some old maps, a very ancient enclosure from the moor.[126]
