Roman and Medieval Pottery and Tile Production
Introductions to Heritage Assets
An introduction to Roman and medieval pottery and tile production.
The manufacture of pottery is first recorded in this country in the early Neolithic period, starting around 4000 BC. The production of pottery on what can be termed an industrial scale began in this country in the immediate aftermath of the Roman invasion of AD 43. The Romans also introduced the production of clay tile for use in building projects. Several forms of medieval kilns are known, often found in rural sites.
