Of the twelve palaces of the Bishops of Exeter in Devon only two, Clyst and Chudleigh, are known for certain to have had a medieval tile pavement, although at neither palace is there a satisfactory record of the discovery of the tiles. Five surviving fragments bear armorial designs and probably come from an elaborate pavement in the palace chapel. They were probably made in Exeter c1290-1320. Fragments of Low Countries redware tiles have also been found. These could have come from the chapel or domestic rooms and are datable to the late 14th to early 16th century. They are widely distributed throughout eastern and southern England and are common in Devon.
