MARCH 1
What excitement! Not only is March 1 St David’s Day ~always a very special day in my life as I spent my childhood in a village in North Wales; but even more importantly for Rye Pottery, I have also discovered that March 1st 1360 is the day that King Edward 111 paid £ 16 ransom to free a young Geoffrey Chaucer then fighting as a soldier in France during the Siege of Rheims. It is difficult to imagine what English Literature would have been like today without the writings of Geoffrey Chaucer, so we should all be grateful to King Edward for paying off this ransom so early in his career .
