Fabric definitions
- Fabrics are listed according to
temper. Where fabrics from different production sites are very
similar, only the most typical is described in full. The remainder are
listed in numerical order. Only Upchurch and Thameside fabrics are
described, those of Thameside Essex and West Kent being beyond the
scope of this work. The philosophy of the chosen system is outlined in
chapter 4.
