Abstract:		 The chemical analysis of glassworking debris from the site of a Wealden glasshouse provides information on the nature of the glass produced and the refractory materials used. The analysis of the glassworking debris shows that a high-lime low-alkali glass was used to manufacture both vessel and window glass. This glass type was only produced in Britain after the arrival of French glassmakers from 1567. While broadly similar to other late Wealden sites, the glass produced at Horsebridge shows some small but distinct differences compared to available data from other late Wealden glasshouses. The refractory material used comprised two different types of clay. The crucibles were manufactured using a grog-tempered clay which was probably imported from Dorset(?), while the furnace bricks were manufactured using a local, quartz-tempered clay.
