Discussion Group talk: The Study of Medieval roof tiles and other roof furniture.
Medieval ridge tile, Budbury Manor House
Jane Mann and Becky Clarke have been studying medieval ceramic roof tiles and other parts of roof-coverings from archaeological sites around Wiltshire. Not Just plain tiles, but the more complex tiles that lined the ridges of roofs, usually ornately carved and glazed. They will be joined by historian Martyn Whittock who will give a short history of the medieval Clarendon Palace near Salisbury.
