A study collection of twenty-five medieval tiles, 13th-15th century

Comprising a set of four tiles, probably English, with an intersecting grapevine design forming a circle across the four tiles, each 10.5cm-10.7cm square, an Aisne tile with a dancing lady, 13cm, a Burgundian tile with a white marguerite or daisy, 12cm, a Somerset tile with a spread eagle, from St Etheldreda's Church, West Quantoxhead, 13.8cm, various Malvern school tiles including triangular tiles, other geometric tiles, and four fragmentary tiles from Notley Abbey including 'Stabbed Wessex School' designs and part of a Penn tile with a lion head (typical wear and losses, some severe) (25)

Footnotes

The grapevine tiles are probably English versions of a design seen on a 15th century pavement in Rheims, see Jannie Mayer, Pavement Carreaux de Sol... (1999), nos.148-150. The Tile fragments from Notley Abbey were discovered in 1938.
