Medieval paving tiles of English churches
Numéro d’image : 12655719
| Examples of various ceramic inlaid tile patterns found in seven English churches. Inlaid tiles, or encaustic tiles as they are also called, are fired clay tiles with a simple pattern picked out in a clay inlay of a contrasting colour, usually white on a red ground. Some ornamental patterns occupy just a single tile, in others it takes sets of four, nine or sixteen tiles to create a complete pattern. The occurrence of armorial heraldic decoration suggests evidence or illustration of property, other designs could represent sacred emblems. In the mid 19th century the following estimated dates of these tiles were considered to be nearly accurate: early13th c. : Brookham (4), Helpstone (6); late 13th c. : All Saints, Leicester (2); 14th c: Great Bedwin (1), S. Alban's Abbey (3), Wells Cathedral (7). From: Glossary of Terms used in Gothic Architecture, 1855 John Henry Parker. | |
