The Brameld family operated the Swinton Pottery in Yorkshire until its closure in 1842. They received financial support from their landlord, Earl Fitzwilliam, and about 1826 the factory was renamed The Rockingham Works in honour of Earl’s uncle, the Marquis of Rockingham. The factory created an amazing range of earthenware and stoneware, with every kind of popular decoration including transfer-printed designs. Despite creating a range of splendid porcelains alongside their pottery, and receiving orders from His Majesty King William IV, the Bramelds fell into debt and had to give up their potting business. The factory closed in 1842
