Enoch Wedgwood (1813-1879) was an English potter, founder in 1860 of the pottery firm Wedgwood & Co of Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent. He was a distant cousin of the famous potter Josiah Wedgwood, of Josiah Wedgwood & Sons but their two businesses were separate concerns.
Wedgwood married Jane Mattinson (1814-1880) in 1837. They had four children, one of whom died in infancy:
- Edmund Mattinson Wedgwood (1840-1904), potter.
- Charlotte (1843-?)
- Alfred Joseph Wedgwood (1845-1846) died in infancy.
- Alfred Enoch Wedgwood (1850-1894), potter.
Wedgwood & Co was renamed Enoch Wedgwood (Tunstall) Ltd in 1965 and in 1980 it was taken over by Josiah Wedgwood & Sons, who renamed it Unicorn Pottery.
Famous quotes containing the word enoch:
“It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.... As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see “the River Tiber foaming with much blood.””
—J. Enoch Powell (b. 1912)
