More About the Makers…
Craven Dunnill & Co
Established in 1872, Craven Dunnill was founded by Henry Powell Dunnill who set up a tile factory in Jackfield, Ironbridge. Trading under the name ‘Craven Dunnill & Co’, the firm was to become one of the leading British producers of ceramic and encaustic tiles.
Though tile production ceased in 1951 and the Jackfield site closed, the modern Craven Dunnill firm returned in 2000. The business still exists today, supplying contemporary ceramic tiles made using traditional Victorian methods to the likes of London’s House of Commons and interior design projects across the globe.
Godwin Tiles
William Godwin began manufacturing quarry tiles, bricks and drainpipes at his factory in Lugwardine, Herefordshire in 1851. In later years, William went into partnership with his son and traded as ‘Godwin & Co’, a name that would become reputable until long after William’s death in 1925.
