Source/Archive record SCH7379 - Medieval pottery from excavations in the North West. Nantwich

Account of first year of excavations at the National Westminster Bank site. Discusses the find of a 'mystery' jug, a piece of fire-cracked waster with elaborate combed and applied decoration and green/brown glaze; no local parallels known. A few other recovered sherds show similarities in decoration, fabric and glaze to the mystery jug. The medieval pottery from Nantwich has some similarities with known wares (eg: local kilns at Audlem and Ashton), but also has differences, indicating the possibility that there was a kiln in Nantwich itself.
