Spanish tin-glazed tiles from Woking Palace and other sites in south-east England
IAN M BETTS
Woking Palace has produced the largest assemblage of Valencian tiles found anywhere in Britain. Brought in during the mid-late 15th or early years of the 16th century, they are among the earliest tin-glazed tiles known to have been used in this country. They are decorated with six different designs, four of which can be paralleled on Valencian tiles known from Spain. Other Valencian tiles, many with the same designs, are known from two sites in Guildford, Surrey, Billericay, Essex and Dartford, Kent.
