More about this scene

Like many businessmen in the 18th century the Gregs, who built Styal Mill, were Nonconformist, in their case Unitarians, and this was their chapel. Looking at their family tree, one can see how the Gregs were connected to many other important inventors and industrialists of the time, including Josiah Wedgwood and the Darbies of Coalbrookdale. Networking was as important 200 years ago as it is today.
