Summary
Floor tile - Design 76 - The tile is large and plain with a dark green glaze. Potentially 14th to 15th century. This design is not in the Burnett-Brown Tile Collection Report. The tile is in good condition but there is some damage to the tile and glaze on one corner. There is a thick layer of glaze across the tile but it is thinning along some edges. The majority of the glaze has dulled but there are still shiny patches. The top surface is pitted. There are patches of glaze on three of the sides and large chunks of mortar on two sides. On the reverse is a single, central scoop, which is filled with mortar, and chunks of mortar.
