Cyril Ruffles, who worked in a brickyard as a mason, had been taught about making pottery by prisoners of war. After learning the art, he was offered a position at Holkham Pottery. In the years that followed, he went on to become chief thrower and very well known, respected, and adored by the community and pottery collectors. He would often be seen throwing vases and jugs at his wheel with an audience of the public watching with a keen interest through the window.
