In 1536, as part of the dissolution of the monasteries in England, Wales and Ireland, large parts of St Nicholas Priory were demolished, including the Priory church.
In the 1980s, archaeological excavation revealed the robbed trenches of the Church, filled with debris from the old buildings, including a large quantity of medieval inlaid tile.
We are running a community project to sort these fragments, and identify the tile patterns which occurred at the Priory. This can then be compared to patterns found at other Exeter sites such as the Cathedral. We will also be using 3D photogrammetry to make a record of some examples of tiles.
The drop in sessions run from 11am to 4pm and are free entry. Come and try your hand at some research and help us find out more about this interesting archive of medieval fragments.
