This Autumn we invite you to enjoy our graveyard guided walk with one of our knowledgeable tour guides. Old St Johns Churchyard and Hartwell cemetery are places steeped in rich history and heritage and the final resting place for many of the Wedgwood family and local Barlaston residents.

The walk will start from Josiah Wedgwood’s statue at World of Wedgwood, before taking a circular route via Queen Mary’s Drive up to into Old St Johns Churchyard, through Barlaston village by the Duke of York pub, stopping at Hartwell cemetery and finally through Barlaston Village Green, the Plume of Feathers and back along the picturesque canal and back to World of Wedgwood.
