Hiking
St. Mary's was built at a cost of £10,000 after Colonel William Petrie Waugh purchased the island in 1852, and established a pottery industry (The Branksea Clay & Pottery Company) along with Maryland village to house his workers. However, the pottery venture turned out to be be a disaster because William had been ill advised about the quality of the clay (unsuitable for fine porcelain) so the business went bankrupt.
