Welcome to the Website of the Ball Clay Heritage Society

The Society was formed in February 2000, to:

  • further understanding of the history and heritage of clay production, transport and use, particularly in Devon and Dorset;
  • preserve, conserve and realise that heritage;
  • further understanding of the geological origin, occurrence, composition, properties and applications of clays, particularly in ceramics, and
  • assist, collaborate with and provide volunteer support to any trust or organisation established with objects similar or complementary to those of the Society.
