Summary
Floor tile - Design 33 - Fragment - The design depicts has a band of five petalled rosettes with a large leaf facing inwards sprouting from the band. There is a smaller leaf facing the corner flanked by two more rosettes. The design is set diagonally so presumably made a four tile set with self. Potentially late 15th to early 16th century. (Group C – Burnett-Brown Tile Collection Report). The tile fragment is in fair condition and this is the left side. There is a small amount of slip remaining but it is thin or missing in places. There is very little glaze remaining. On the reverse is a section of the single, shallow scoop.
