Traces the history of the use of ceramics in the decoration of buildings. Provides definitions of the various types of ceramic used in buildings construction; and their derivation. Follows the use of terracotta and other glazed architectural ceramics in Britain, from Roman times to the present; from the height of usage in buildings in the nineteenth century through to decline in the early twentieth century as tastes changed and in reaction to former highly decorated styles. Now only two manufacturers survive in the UK which produce a full range of terracotta products.
