Medieval Floor and Roof Tiles from Melrose Abbey, Scottish Borders, and the 'Westminster Tilers'.

AN ASSEMBLAGE OF more than 2500 fragments of tile was recovered from within the precinct of Melrose Abbey during excavations in 2009. The collection includes a large group of decorated floor tiles, the designs of which have links with the 'Westminster School', and which are unlike any other previously excavated at the abbey. This paper places the group in context and considers the implications of the find. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
