Twelfth and Thirteenth Century Coventry Wares, with Special Reference to a Waster Group from the Cannon Park Estate (Lychgate Road), Coventry

Until the establishment of the Nuneaton pottery industry in the 13th century, Coventry relied largely on locally produced wares. This report summarizes 12th century Coventry Sandy and Glazed Wares, and describes a waster group of slightly later date from the Cannon Park Estate – the first to be published from the Coventry area. Other evidence for the local medieval ceramic industry is reviewed.
