The tile is decorated with a two-colour design for a repeating single tile pattern. At the centre of the tile a white slip fleur de lis is present on a dark ground. It is enclosed in a diamond defined by further white slip which divides the tile into four diagonal sections. The tile has two pairs of symmetrical semi-circular decoration in the corners marked out in white slip. The exact pattern is difficult to make out because of where the tile has broken, and the post-deposition discolouration of the surface. The pattern appears to be similar to that illustrated in Eames (1980) ref. 2232, catalogue examples of which were produced at Penn. Penn, in Buckinghamshire, was a major centre of tile mass-production during the 14th century (Eames 1980, 221). This tile formed one element from a patterned pavement where adjacent tiles would have completed the semi-circular motifs to form circles with central floral patterns. The tile is a highly fired, bright red ceramic. Dimensions: length: 77.67mm; width: 105.51mm; thickness: 23.2mm; weight: 248.76g.
