The Tring Tiles, Medieval, c1325. Set of outstanding tiles with images drawn from apocryphal legends from the 'unofficial' life of Christ. Most contain two scenes, and can be read like a comic strip, although missing scenes disturb the continuity of the stories; a tile showing the reaping of corn miraculously multiplied to a vast amount is combined with an unconnected incident. Other tiles concentrate on the charity and wisdom of Jesus. They probably decorated a wall rather than a floor, and the sgraffito design may indicate that they were produced at Tring in Hertfordshire where this technique was popular on pottery. M&ME, 1922,4-12,1-8
