Paving tiles from Frittenden Church

The tiles represented in the annexed plate are, with one exception, still preserved in the vestry of Frittenden Church. They bear, for the most part, designs of the Decorated Period, and may be considered to have been made in the fourteenth century.

When Frittenden Church was rebuilt, Mr. R. C. Hussey carefully preserved these and other interesting fragments of the old church; which relics may now be seen in the vestry of the sacred edifice.
