Abstract: Medieval Ceramics: Journal of the Medieval Ceramics Research Group, 26-27, 113-118<br />Field walking on various sites at Ticknall, South Derbyshire, has revealed several clusters of kiln fabric and wasters. The pottery industry at Ticknall is thought to have spanned from the 15th to the 19th centuries. At least two kilns at Ticknall produced Cistercian and Midlands Purple wares. Emphasis will be placed on the Peat's Close kiln, which appears to be one of the earlier Cistercian ware producers in the village. The Ticknall pottery is compared here to the Cistercian ware products of Yorkshire. A fuller account of the Ticknall Cistercian wares will be included in the author's PhD thesis.
