He was minister of various Welsh and English circuits from 1801-1824. Later he became a grocer in Leeds, and subsequently at Caernarvon. He was known for his preaching and for his many converts. Pugh identifies a number of Welsh clerical figures made in the 1840s, and suggests that they were made for the Welsh market. Rackham (1935) lists this figure as of a type made chiefly by Sampson Smith at Longton, a factory listed in contemporary directories as a ‘manufacturer of figures in great variety’, which began around 1851 and continued to make figures in quantity into the early part of the twentieth century. But Sampson Smith figures, which were rarely marked, typically have a flat back and plain oval base. Meanwhile, there were many other, often smaller, manufacturers of figures working in Staffordshire at this time. The source may be a lithograph of a figure in similar pose, signed ‘Eich Serchog, J.Bryan’ (yours sincerely, J. Bryan), held in the National Library of Wales. reference term-109672 adlib-term-109672 a788e98b-c8a4-313c-9617-1a812228e864 19th Century, Mid reference term-15214 adlib-term-15214 744af2c4-a2f2-37ad-bbf4-2cd00e91ed9b Victorian reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country literal Staffordshire Staffordshire region Staffordshire reference term-107611 adlib-term-107611 790e5a19-a186-34d5-a16e-2d8dff9f6247 white earthenware reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze Depth cm 8 Depth in 2.125 Height cm 26.5 Height in 10.5 Width cm 11 Width in 4.375 reference media-47891 adlib-media-47891 d2556078-af11-3f45-87eb-95e4dfe9e54b jpeg aa/aa2/C_988_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926524891 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_988_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926524891 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_988_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926524891 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_988_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926524891 1 image 0 media image reference media-47892 adlib-media-47892 f241ad1c-e8a8-35ea-aed0-24c99c1ca609 jpeg aa/aa2/C_988_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926302478 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_988_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926302478 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_988_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926302478 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_988_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926302478 1 image 1 media image reference media-47893 adlib-media-47893 0d5c476f-7906-358d-8de2-305119379c34 jpeg aa/aa2/C_988_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926421219 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_988_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926421219 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_988_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926421219 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_988_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926421219 1 image 2 media image reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure category reference term-130674 adlib-term-130674 2728ba11-801b-318a-8f24-c6f4b99f08e3 Victorian Staffordshire figure category reference term-130678 adlib-term-130678 c683fbc6-ba3a-3ab1-b2f5-41493ff3588d flat-backed figure category history note Messrs Mortlock’s, corners of Oxford St. and Orchard St. W.
