The medieval and early modern pottery industry of the Graffham area has been discussed in articles published in Sussex Archaeological Collections by Anthony Streeten (1980) and by Fred Aldsworth and Alec Down (1990). These focused primarily on the archaeology of the industry, although Aldsworth also surveyed some of the documentary sources. Brick and tile-making in the Graffham area has received less attention. A more extensive examination of documentary sources, including property deeds, manorial records, wills and probate inventories, provides new information about the potters, brick and tile-makers and enables the archaeological evidence to be placed in a stronger historic context.
