Traditional clay tiles in East Sussex

Traditional clay tiles

Here at Heritage Clay Tiles Ltd our traditional clay tiles have a glorious colour and a much deeper texture than any stock tile on the market. Our motto of yesterdays traditions, todays choices, tomorrows heritage is so appropriate, as we firmly adhere to strictly traditional clay tiles design and manufacture to ensure tomorrows heritage.

Our beautiful range of traditional clay tiles have the appearance of tiles that have been in place for many years, even when first laid. The natural build up of lichen and other weathering effects that do not undermine the integrity of the tile, but simply enhance the traditional clay tile appearance will not take long to develop owing to the clay tiles deeper texture.

We have other ranges of traditional clay tiles available should you be looking for a smoother finish too. Should you require a more contemporary feel, the darker shades are ideal for matching with older weathered clay tiles for refurbishment projects.

Our handmade range of traditional clay tiles and accessories are the perfect choice when used in conservation areas but will also add loads of character and value to any property, regardless of age and location.

A little information about East Sussex

Glyndebourne House in East Sussex

Glyndebourne House is an English country house, the site of an opera house that, since 1934, has been the venue for the annual Glyndebourne Festival Opera. The house, located near Lewes in East Sussex, is thought to be about six hundred years old and listed at grade II.

History of the iconic East Sussex opera house

There had been a manor house at Glynde Bourne since the fifteenth century, but the exact age of the house is a bit of a mystery. Some surviving timber framing and pre Elizabethan panelling makes an early sixteenth century date the most probable age. In 1618, it came into the possession of the Hay family, passing to James Hay Langham in 1824. He inherited his fathers baronetcy and estate in Northamptonshire in 1833 which under the terms of his inheritance should have led to him relinquishing Glyndebourne, but as a certified lunatic he was unable to do so. After litigation the estate passed to a relative, Mr Langham Christie, but he later had to pay £50,000 to persuade another relative to withdraw a rival claim.

Langham Christies son, William Langham Christie, made substantial alterations to the house in the 1870s. First, a brick extension hid its seventeenth century facade, while ornate stonework and balustrading was added. Then, in 1876, the architect Ewan Christian was engaged to install bay windows and add decorative brickwork to give the house the Jacobethan appearance which can still be seen from the gardens today. Some of the exterior of the older parts of the house can be seen from the driveway next to the theatre.

By the late 1980s the theatres expansion, which had been carried out rather sporadically, included an agglomeration of outbuildings which housed restaurants, dressing rooms, storage and other facilities. It became clear to George Christie that a completely new theatre and not just an enlargement of the old one was necessary. Having chosen the architects Michael and Patty Hopkins of Hopkins Architects in a design competition, Christie announced in 1990 that a new theatre, capable of seating 1,200 people, would be constructed in 1992.

The old theatre in East Sussex hosted its last festival in 1992, and construction of a new and updated 1,200 capacity theatre was well under way. It was completed at a cost of £34 million, 90 per cent of which was raised through donations, which gave the donors control of 28% of the seats. The inaugural performance in the new theatre on 28 May 1994, given sixty years to the day after the old theatres first performance, was Le nozze di Figaro.

The design of the theatre, a large brick oval building, has resulted in a four level, horseshoe shaped auditorium with main level seating, two balconies, and a gallery topped with a circular roof. The over sixty foot high stage building is semi circular in shape and allows for the efficient flying and storage of scenery. The acoustics, by Derek Sugden and Rob Harris of Arup Acoustics, have received a good deal of praise.
