Description


Within the cloister walks at Titchfield survive the finest collection of medieval tiles in southern England. The tiles were made by pressing a wooden stamp into wet clay. White liquid clay was poured into the indent and excess scraped off to form the design. The tiles were then coated with a lead glaze and fired in a kiln. The tiles were covered up by the courtyard of the later mansion house, where they lay preserved for over 400 years. They were rediscovered during excavations in 1923.
