History

It is generally accepted that the English lost the art of brick making after the Romans left and the Dark and Middle ages were characterised by other materials as well as some re-use of Roman brick. Brickmaking continued on the continent and with the proximity of East Anglia to

the continent it is always possible that bricks were imported, notably from Flanders.
