In 1942, while digging foundations for a new building, they found a bed of clay and began making and selling pottery to support their community. Known for its metallic glaze. Both monks and lay people worked in the pottery. It was housed in wooden huts until 1974, when a purpose-built pottery was constructed. In 1997 the pottery sold to the Welsh Pottery Company and later closed down (credit from Museum in the Park - Stroud District).
