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.
