Nathaniel Ireson

Nathaniel Ireson (1685 – 18 April 1769) was a potter, architect and mason best known for his work around Wincanton in Somerset, England.

He was probably born in Ansley, Warwickshire.

He rebuilt much of the centre of Wincanton following a fire in 1707.

He was churchwarden at St Peter's in Stourton, Wiltshire during the 1720s and may have done work on the church himself.

He moved to Wincanton around 1726, and owned a pottery there from 1738-1750. There is a monument to him in the Churchyard of St Peter and St Paul, Wincanton, including a statue which he is believed to have carved himself.
