Bringing the Holy Land Home: The Crusades, Chertsey Abbey, and the Reconstruction of a Medieval Masterpiece

Where did this go?

The tile did not travel throughout Europe or in the Mediterranean region. It’s one of the finest examples of medieval tiles of which were made on site. The tiles were found in July 1996 at the corner of Colonels Lane next to the Abbey field. The kiln in which these tiles were fired was discovered in 1922 alongside other discarded tiles proving the concept of being made on site.
