What Tudor Do

Discover truely HANDMADE roof tiles from ENGLAND.

History

Peg tiles go back as far back as the 12th and 13th centuries, a time when every English town and village would have had its own clay brick and tile-maker.

Tile sizes varied from region to region until a Royal Charter of 1477 standardised sizes to 10½” x 6¼”, although Kent peg tiles typically remained at 10" x 6".

Down through the centuries, HANDMADE English tiles have been used by the great English architects and influential leaders of design movements.

William Morris, the founder of the English Arts & Craft’s movement had HANDMADE tiles on his own home ‘The Red House’.

Sir Edwin Lutyens, CFA Voysey and MH Baillie Scott, to name a few.

Follow in these great designers’ footsteps and consider truly HANDMADE tiles from the craftsmen at Tudor for your next project.
