Sale of The Earl Of Ducie's Ironworks
One of two advertisements in the Agricultural Gazette in April 1846 announcing that the Uley Ironworks had been "disposed of" and a sale of contents was to take place in May.
The brief details state that the sale will include a half share in "The Uley Chaffcutter" which was devised by Edwin Budding, Richard Clyburn and The Earl Of Ducie. This could be taken to imply that the Earl had a half share the other half was itself shared by Budding and Clyburn. "Uley Chaff Cutter" patent.
