Sad news of the passing of Nigel Macpherson Grant

Dear all,

I am afraid I have some very sad news. Nigel Macpherson Grant has passed away.

Many of you met him over the years, he was a gentle soul, with an amazing giggle and an encyclopaedic knowledge of pottery.

I loved nothing more than filling a room with pottery at Shorne, that we could all mull over under Nigel’s watchful, encouraging eye…

His passing is a huge loss to the study of pottery in the county…

Perhaps, most of all, I will miss the chats we had, in the downtime between puzzling over pot…the wide ranging discussions and lunch at his local greasy spoon…

I have attached a picture of Nigel at Shorne last year…

Please take good care of yourselves in these difficult times…

Andrew
