A very similar dated tile excavated from North Walk Pottery is in the British Museum (inv. no.1906,1222.3). See also that with the initials 'N L' and the same date illustrated by Leslie B Grigsby, The Longridge Collection of English Slipware and Delftware, vol.1 (2000), p.162, no.S96 where tiles with the initials 'T W' are also discussed. Examples can be found in or near churches in Barnstaple. A tile with a very similar portrait thought to be a Native American is in the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter (inv. no.70/1992/6).
