The Late Medieval Pottery Industry on the North Suffolk Border

Recent excavations at West Street, Rickinghall Inferior, revealed a late medieval pottery kiln and associated products. This discovery has enabled limited comparative work to be carried out on the previously discovered kilns of similar date in the neighbouring parishes of Hopton, Wattisfield and Hinderclay. Descriptions of fabric types from other Waveney Valley kiln groups are presented, and the form types are discussed in relation to the Late Medieval and Transitional (LMT) pottery tradition in East Anglia.
