This furnace was originally on Spaunton Moor but was re-constructed at the Ryedale Folk Museum in Hutton-Le-Hole after it was excavated by Raymond Hayes during the 1960s/70s
The furnace was wood fired and dates from the late 16th century.
The central stones of the furnace are still covered in a colourful glaze.
Really intrigued by this. Watched it on Secret Britain last night. Is ther anywhere I can go to find out more about it? Please e-mail me with details.
