I have just updated the Tittensor One-Name Study web site with biographical information about Tittensor potters, including pictures of their known works.

The site also now includes information on other notable Tittensors; Harry Tittensor painter and Royal Doulton artist, Walter Tittensor of Oldham architect, and Walter Harrison Tittensor engineer.

To view this information goto www.tittensor.com and follow the link to "Some Notable Tittensors".

I would be very grateful for any feedback or further information that anyone can provide about these or any other members of the Tittensor family.

Thanks for your help,

Paul

I studied English Language and Literature at Edinburgh University from 1964 to 1968 and one of my lecturers in English Language was a Mr. David J. Tittensor. I believe he came from Staffordshire. He was an expert in Old and Middle English.

Hello Harry, it is very good to hear from you.  That is very interesting.  I have seen some text books on old English that mention David Tittensor (e.g. "A Grammar of Old English" by Richard Hogg, another of his students at Edinburgh) but I hadn't really appreciated his background.  It is good to know that he came from Staffordshire.

Regards,

Paul

Not only did he come from Staffordshire, he was a bit of a Staffordshire patriot. There's a Middle English poem called "Sir Gawain and the Grene Knyghte", which is written in a north-west dialect. Some scholars think it was written in Lancashire, but Mr. Tittensor was adamant that it was written in Staffordshire!
He had had polio when he was younger, and walked very stiffly and painfully.
