Description
In the autumn of 1949, Mr Holland, a farmer at Stebbing, had reported to a local amateur archaeologist, Mr Campen, the presence of quantities of roofing tile scattered over a small part of one of his fields. The farmer and his son therefore took an opportunity in early spring of 1950 to dig out the site and found the arches, flues, and hearth of a medieval tile kiln, itself built of tiles and clay and in a remarkably good state of preservation.
