This paper reviews the evidence for the medieval pottery industry within Rockingham Forest in Northamptonshire, which centred on the village of Stanion and the hamlets of Lyveden. It considers the topographical and tenurial factors of the medieval landscape which may have caused the industry to develop in particular settlements and manors, and examines the relationship between the pottery and iron industries which coexisted within the forest.
