Wiltshire Museum, Devizes

The newly-joined South West and South Central group were hosted for an autumn meeting by the Wiltshire Museum, Devizes. The group had the opportunity to handle a wide selection of kiln material from Langley Burrell and Minety, and assemblages from Ludgershall Castle and Devizes which provided essential comparative material for type series projects and pottery specialists in the region who encounter these kiln products from consumer sites.

Short talks from members and non-members:

Lorraine Mepham and Alejandra Gutiérrez, The Wiltshire type series project

Kate Berlewen, The fabric type series for medieval and post-medieval pottery from Devon and Cornwall

Matty Cambridge, A group of ridge tiles from the English Heritage collections  Devon
