Unusual hand-painted plaques

It is possible that the left plaque, which is of an attractive small size, was made at the Sheriff Hill Pottery.

With hand-painted flowers

Two plaques with hand-painted flowers and text apparently by the same hand.

With hand-painted black flowers

The verse 'But One Thing is Needful' (Luke X, 42) inspired the sermon, 'The One Thing Needful', by the preacher C H Spurgeon, 15 October 1871.

With joined-up script

'Search the Scriptures' is a title of a sermon by the Reverend C H Spurgeon delivered January 17, 1858.    However, the plaque looks to be of an early form (c1830s-40s).  So it is possible that Spurgeon appropriated the title from an earlier source. Note the misspelling!

With moulded cherubim

I haven't yet been able to match the very distinctive hand-painted lettering and decoration with plaques from any other pottery.  The texts 'Rejoice in thy Saviour' and 'Remember Thy Creator' appear to be unique to these plaques.
These plaques also appear with yellow borders, and a printed 'Prepare to Meet Thy God' transfer with an angel, similar to that used by Dixon, Austin & Co.
Finally, four variants in pink.

The good Samaritan

Moore & Co used a similar transfer, though with the image in reverse, on a bowl (read more here).

The prodigal son

LUKEXV, VERSE I8,I9,
I will arise and go unto my Father and
will say unto him. Father. I haved sinned
Against heaven and before the (sic)
And am no more worthy to be called thy son
make me as one of the hired servants
