JaM Eton is older than you might think.

We have been researching the history of our building in Eton and thought we would share our discoveries with you. The building dates from 1650; an oak timber frame with brick and lath and plaster infill. The building has been much added to during its life. The front aspect was built out by 60 cms in the 1880s, pinching a bit of the street and giving the building its "Georgian" look. To the rear, Victorian additions doubled the size of the footprint. For the past 100 years 81, High Street Eton has been a trading business. Radnor, tailor and habit maker, outfitted the Eton College boys from 1919-1929 before moving to Windsor.

Maynards, the sweetshop followed by Haywards the hairdresser traded until the 40's when it became Eton Pottery owned by Miss Byass. This was a turning point in the recent history of the building because, for the next 65 years, it was a working pottery.

Tony Clee (potter) bought the building in the mid 50's and sold it to us in 1994. We continued the pottery tradition, installing new kilns and a working pottery run by Jacqueline Norris. Today, we still run the business but purely as a gallery, showcasing other eminent potters work as well as glass makers and jewellers.
