They are often the most notable features of a church, yet they are rarely mentioned in guidebooks. This book describes how they derived from medieval church tiles, how they were made and who designed and manufactured them. \u003cbr\u003eThe late Kenneth Beaulah had a life-long interest in decorative tiles, particularly medieval tiles and Victorian encaustic tiles. He was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and a founder member of the Tiles and Architectural Ceramics Society. \u003cbr\u003eAbout the author\u003cbr\u003eHans van Lemmen taught for many years at Leeds Metropolitan University. He is an established author on the history of tiles and has lectured on the subject in Britain and abroad. \u003cbr\u003eOther titles for Shire by this author are: \u003cbr\u003eArchitectural Ceramics\u003cbr\u003eCeramic Roofware\u003cbr\u003eTiled Furniture\u003cbr\u003eDelftware Tiles (currently out of print)\u003cbr\u003eMedieval Tiles\u003cbr\u003eTwentieth Century Tiles\u003cbr\u003eVictorian Tiles\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45082879197335,"sku":"9780747805021","price":263.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780747805021.webp?v=1767635229","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/church-tiles-of-the-nineteenth-century-9780747805021","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
