More than half the churches in Britain are paved at least in part
with nineteenth-century decorative encaustic tiles and there are
also churches with striking pictorial tile panels. They are often
the most notable features f a church, other than the windows, yet
they are rarely mentioned in guidebooks. This book describes how
they derived from medieval church tiles, how they were made and who
designed and manufactured them. It deals with their place in the
Gothic Revival, how to identify and date them, and lists some of
the cathedrals and churches where interesting examples can be
found. There are many illustrations of the wide variety of designs
that were used and the many different arrangements in which they
were laid.
