Description: | A Medieval decorated floor tile (13th ?? 14th century). The tile is square and one corner is broken and missing. The front surface is decorated with a pattern in yellow slip which is then glazed. The pattern depicts a central rampant lion with tail raised behind its back, there are pellets and trefoils around the lion. Each corner is decorated with a semicircular line (all four connect to make a lozenge-shape) and within that semi-circular field is a fleur-de-lis with a pellet to each side.
A very similar tile is published Eames (1980:334 no.1802) from Byland Abbey, Yorkshire dated to the mid-13th century.
