This tile design is from Berry-au-Bac in Alsne, France. Now in the Musee de Cluny. French churches did not suffer the Dissolution of the Monasteries (1536) nor the Protestant Reformation or Puritan influences. As such they have survived better.
A cork or felt backing can be added for £4.00 for the four tiles.
Glazed with a modern lead frit, in which the lead is chemically bound to silica rather than the raw lead of the medieval originals. Safe for display, walls and floors, but not for food or drink. Safety certificates are available on request.

Tom Chamberlain makes floor tiles the way they were made for medieval churches and abbeys. He digs the red clay himself, cuts his own stamps, and has spent the last two years working out the original methods.
