Description: | Medieval decorated ceramic architectural fragment, a moulded openwork panel in a variagated pinkish oxidised brick fabric (rather than terracotta) with profuse straw impressions on the reverse (and several on the front). Parts of two straight edges survive and meet at a damaged right-angled corner. Breaks truncate a cusped opening. Three lines on the front surface form an approximate arrow shape. These are probably part or batch marks (Paul Drury pers. comm.). There are traces of limewash on the front and on the inner face of the opening, and of lime mortar on the reverse. Perhaps from a tomb chest or screen, cf. a terracotta fragment from Middlle Harling, Norfolk (Drury, P. in Rogerson 1995, 84-5). 160 x 123 x 52mm. Weight 907g. 15th century.Found during consolidation work by Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust on the ruined church of St Margaret on the surface or close to the surface around the outside of the walls.
