Lackford Brickworks

This small brickworks is located in an isolated spot, to the south east of Lackford and the south west of Flempton, next to the small wood called Brakey Pin.

Up the Icknield Way there was another brickworks that had been in the Devereux family since 1850.

The head of houshold was a brickmaker, William Devereux, and the house they lived in for quite some time was known as "Brick Kiln" in the censuses. Devereux was born around 1805. His son John Devereux, born 22nd September, 1839 at West Stow, was also a brickmaker in the 1861 census, living at Stow Plantation, working at Icklingham brickworks with his father..

One of the other offspring called William Devereux junior was born in 1850 at West Stow. By the 1881 census, he was listed as a brickmaker living at The Brick Kiln, Lackford.

So there were members of the Devereux family working at both the Icklingham Brickworks and the Lackford Brick works at the same time.
