Description: | A Medieval decorated square floor tile, ??Winchester?? type (13th ?? 14th century). Only part of the tile remains, two corners and part of the body is missing. The front surface is glazed and decorated with a two tone pattern. The pattern comprises a central lozenge-shape in white with a long cross that divides the lozenge into quarters; each arm of the cross has a trilobed terminal. At the centre of the cross is an annulet and in each quarter is a lis with stem that extends into the central annulet. The pattend is entirely in white against a red background.
The pattern is very similar to no. W104 (Betts 2002:58), the pattern on this tile is a slightly larger scale.
Dimensions: length: 107.70mm; width: 86.11mm; thickness: 20.72mm; weight: 224g.
