Barlaston Hall. The imposing country house that greets the visitor at the start of the long driveway leading-up to The Wedgwood Museum.  This is now a private residence and is only ocassionally open to the public for pre-booked visits.  The house was built in 1756-8 for lawyer Thomas Mills from Leek. It overlooks the Trent Valley and the octagonal diamond sash windows are a rare surviving trademark of Taylor's work.
