A colour photograph of a pavement made from fragments of mediaeval floor tiles, taken from directly above. Some are almost complete, some in halves, and others in much smaller pieces. Lots of them have floral or heraldic symbols on them.
Mediaeval tile pieces relaid together to form a fragment pavement, at #WenlockPriory. It has several areas like this. #TilesOnTuesday #Shropshire #Medieval

Memories of warmer days wit bumble bees and wood pigeons, at #WenlockPriory. #Shropshire #MedievalMonday
I love this medieval tile from Wenlock Priory, which shows a man playing a trumpet. The tiles date from the 13th to the 15thC #wenlockpriory #medieval #medievaltile #medievaltiles #wenlock #muchwenlock #medieval
Romantic ruins of Wenlock Priory. Founded 7thC as joint house of monks & nuns under rule of an abbess, it was refounded as a Cluniac Priory late 11thC. The church held the relics of St Milburga, Wenlock’s 2nd abbess. Dissolved Henry VIII 1540 #wenlock #wenlockpriory #henryviii #stmilburga #medieval
Standing beneath an Anglo-Saxon carved stone repurposed as a door lintel in the ruins of the Chapter House at Wenlock Priory. Carved with a devil and two headed dragons, it feels a bit Narnian #thelionthewitchandthewardrobe #saxonsculpture #wenlockpriory #medieval #narnia
Wenlock Priory 12C
Site of the bones of Saint Milburga. Dissolved in 1540.
The ruined 12th C monastery on the site of the original 7th C Priory is a glorious place w/ much to explore.
