Content Consultants
There are a few individuals without whose generous help this website would not have been possible. In acknowledging their contributions we thank them for access to their researches and archives - any errors in interpretation are our own.
Paul Holdway: author of books on the subject of Spode printed designs, shared his vast experience as a
design engraver for Spode and gave us a unique perspective on the subject.
Nicholas Moore: an extraordinary collector of Spode made his comprehensive collection of early
printed wares available to us, bringing this project much closer to a definitive exhibition of Spode patterns.
Peter Roden: his work on the history of the Spode family and the manor court rolls is model for historical
research, and he most generously shared his private and published work.
