3/3 Mid-15th Century tiles in Great Malvern Priory, Worcestershire. There are more than a hundred different designs. Although they were of course floor tiles originally, most have been reset on the back of the wall behind the sanctuary. #TilesOnTuesday.

Workteam at rooftile factory Hekkens-Feyen, Tegelen,Limburg, NL 1901.

We must never forget that some of the bricks and rooftiles that still protect us in our houses were made by underpayed labourers and even children.

For #EpigraphyTuesday and #TilesOnTuesday I’m sharing a 2,000 year old joke from a Roman roof tile (tegula).

The cursive inscription reads: “VENTVRAM / TERRIS / VID(es me)” – “Now that you see me, I’ve fallen to the ground.”
