Provenance

This tile design has been attributed to Malvern, but excavations at Monk Street in Monmouth have uncovered a tile kiln suggesting local manufacture. A tile with a similar swan crest is displayed in the South aisle of Monmouth Church. This emblem was used as a badge by Mary de Bohun (1370-1394), the mother of Henry V, who was born in 1386 while Mary was living at Monmouth castle.
