"This dedicated volume of the Journal of the British Archaeological Association draws together ten papers which, collectively, explore something of the art and architecture, styles and uses, of the medieval cloister in England and Wales. Contributors consider the continental context, cloisters in English palaces, Benedictine and Augustinian cloister arcades in the 12th and 13th centuries, architecture and meaning in Cistercian east ranges, late medieval vaulted cloisters in the West Country, cloisters at the cathedrals of Old Sarum, Canterbury, and Lincoln, and assess the extent to which the cloister bosses at Norwich cathedral priory reflect contemporary religious politics. The volume also contains an extended consideration and gazetteer of all Cistercian cloisters in England and Wales."

The first tile to appear in medieval times was the ceramic floor tile in the thirteenth century. Such tiles were exclusively used to decorate the religious institutions and homes of the royalty and nobility. Some of the common patterns of ceramic tiles included geometric designs, decorative mosaics, family crests, and depictions of Christian scenes and symbols. During the middle ages, the tile production cost was quite high and only the church and a few wealthy people could afford it. However, with the passage of time, the cost of producing tiles reduced due to the manufacturing process becoming more affordable and common. This increased the accessibility and affordability of the medieval floor tiles. Inlaid tiles or encaustic tiles were the most common tiles in the medieval period. Encaustic tiles are ceramic tiles which are composed of the pattern or figure on the surface. These patterns are created using different colors of clay. This book studies the design, manufacture and use of floor tiles in the medieval period. It is a vital tool for all researching or studying medieval archaeology.

While visual cultures mingled comfortably along the silk roads and on the shores of the Mediterranean, medieval England has sometimes been viewed – by both medieval and more recent writers – as isolated. In this Element the author introduces new evidence to show that this understanding of medieval England's visual relationship to the rest of the world demands revision. An international team led by the author has completed a digital reconstruction of the so-called Chertsey combat tiles (sophisticated pictorial floor tiles made c. 1250, England), including both images and lost Latin texts. Grounded in the discoveries made while completing this reconstruction, the author proposes new conclusions regarding the historical circumstances within which the Chertsey tiles were commissioned and their significant connections with global textile traditions.
