Hempmill Brook
Hempmill Pottery and Cookery School is situated on the border of Shropshire and Staffordshire near Market Drayton.
The Hempmill Brook weaves through the 6 acres of wild gardens, lake and woods, which were once the epicentre of the Battle of Blore Heath (1459), the second battle of the War of the Roses and which are overlooked by the monument of Audley’s Cross.
