Conservation roof tiles: Hog Back Ridge
A hogback ridge tile is a type of roof tile that is made from very high-quality clay. It is known for its unique 'hogsback' shape, which dates back to medieval times. These special roof tiles are both aesthetically appealing and functionally practical for steep pitched roofs. They complement our conservation roof tiles perfectly.
Conservation roof tiles: Half Round Ridge
The half round ridge tile is a semi-circled tile that is suitable for use on both the ridge and hip of the roof. It is primarily used on profiled interlocking tile roofs or traditional plain tile roofs on the ridge line in conjunction with a third round ridge on the hips. The half round ridge tile is manufactured from very durable clay that complements our conservation roof tiles and offers excellent protection against harsh weather elements, ensuring the longevity of your roof's ridge system.
Conservation roof tiles: Bonnet Hips
Bonnet hip tiles are installed on the hips of your roof to complete the look. Unlike other roof tiles, they are curved to suit the roof hip. In addition, the bonnet's hips are easily installed primarily by being angled down, thus allowing the roofer to overlap simply. No conservation roof tiles clad roof would look the same without them.
Conservation roof tiles: Valley tiles
A valley tile is a special type of tile used in roofing. It allows the roof to be continued around corners and is typically used when the pitches of the two roofs are identical. Valleys can sometimes be left open, and are often lined with metal such as lead or sometimes with glass reinforced plastic. We however prefer to complete any valleys seamlessly with conservation roof tile valley tiles.
Conservation roof tiles: External Angles
External angle tiles are specifically for use with vertical plain tiling. Available in 90 and 135 degree angles. You will often see these on the edges of bay windows. Having conservation roof tiles with their associated external angle tiles makes for a truly stunning finished roofing project.
A little information about Oxfordshire
Wallingford in Oxfordshire
Wallingford is a lovely historic market town situated between Oxford and Reading on the River Thames. Although belonging to the historic county of Berkshire, it is within the ceremonial county of Oxfordshire for administrative purposes as a result of the 1972 Local Government Act.
The Oxfordshire town has played an important role in English history starting with the surrender of Stigand to William the Conqueror in 1066, which led to his taking the throne and the creation of Wallingford Castle. The castle and the Oxfordshire town enjoyed royal status and flourished for much of the Middle Ages. The Treaty of Wallingford, which ended a civil war known as The Anarchy between King Stephen and Empress Matilda, was signed in the Oxfordshire town. Wallingford then entered a period of decline after the arrival of the Black Death and falling out of favour with the Tudor monarchs before being called on once again during the English Civil War. Wallingford held out as the last remaining Royalist stronghold in Berkshire before surrendering after a 16-week siege. Fearing that Wallingford Castle could be used in a future uprising, Oliver Cromwell ordered its destruction.
Since then Wallingford has become a market town and centre of local commerce. At the centre of the town is a market square with the war memorial and Wallingford Town Hall to the south, the Corn Exchange theatre to the east and numerous shops around the edges. Off the square there are alleyways and streets with more shops and a number of historic inns. Although it was a small town, the Oxfordshire town once had fourteen churches; now, there are three ancient churches within the Parish of St Mary-le-More and St Leonard, a modern Roman Catholic Church, a Quaker Meeting House dating from 1724 and Baptist, Methodist and community churches.
History of Wallingford in Oxfordshire
Wallingford developed around an important crossing point of the River Thames. There is evidence of Roman activity in the area that have left traces of occupation, burials, roads, coins and pottery. The place-name 'Wallingford' is first used in a Saxon charter of 821, where it appears as Waelingford. The Oxfordshire town's name means 'the ford of Wealh's people'.
The Anglo-Saxons built the first settlement in the Oxfordshire town. Wallingford has been fortified since the Anglo-Saxon period when it was an important fortified borough of Wessex with the right to mint royal coinage. It was enclosed with substantial earthworks by King Alfred the Great in the ninth century as part of a network of fortified towns known as burghs, to protect Wessex against the invading Vikings. These defences can still be clearly seen as a group of four roughly square areas around the centre of the town and are well-preserved. Wallingford became the chief town of Oxfordshire and the seat of the county's Ealdorman.
