Traditional roof tiles in Oxfordshire
Traditional roof tiles
Traditional roof tiles from Heritage Clay Tiles Ltd are the so durable
If there is one part of your property that is subjected to the harshest conditions, it's the roof.
Your roof is the first line of defence against rain, wind hail and snow. It will also have to be able to cope with the accumulation of moss and lichen. Traditional roof tiles can cope with all this and more. The traditional roof tiles available today will even look better over time when they have some lichen or moss covering them. These natural organic accumulations only seem to improve the overall aesthetics of traditional roof tiles.
Remember that roof tiles are exposed to the harshest of exterior conditions on a daily basis, so it's important that the kind you pick is resilient enough to last. Traditional roof tiles fit the bill for a long lasting, durable and beautiful roof.

A little information about Oxfordshire
Wolvercote in Oxfordshire
Wolvercote is a village that is part of the City of Oxford in Oxfordshire.
The Domesday Book of 1086 lists the village as Ulfgarcote, meaning the cottage of Woolgar; or Woolgar's place. The Oxfordshire village had become Wolvercote by 1185. Wolvercote housing faced onto its extensive commons, which provided much of the community's livelihood. Some residents still have ancient rights on the commons. Geese rearing was once an important local activity, and a goose is still one of the village symbols. Horses and cattle are still grazed on Wolvercote Common and Port Meadow. In 1789 the Oxford Canal divided the village into two parts, and in 1846 the Oxford and Rugby Railway was built beside the canal through the village. In 1850 the Buckinghamshire Railway was completed through a tunnel and cutting along the eastern edge of Upper Wolvercote.
The bridge in the Oxfordshire village bears a plaque in memory of two unfortunate airmen of the Royal Flying Corps who were killed nearby in a flying accident in 1912. Part of Port Meadow was used as a military airfield in the First World War; the Royal Artillery also had a base there. In 1940, a camp was set up on the meadow for evacuees from Dunkirk.
The Oxfordshire village in popular culture
Wolvercote in Oxfordshire was featured in a 1987 episode of the popular detective drama Inspector Morse, in which a wealthy American tourist was found dead in her hotel room shortly after arriving in Oxford to return a valuable artefact, the Wolvercote Tongue, one-half of an ancient belt buckle, to an Oxford archaeological museum. In the novel related to the television episode, The Jewel That Was Ours, the valuable tongue is never given to the museum, as it is stolen for the insurance money. The Anglo-Saxon-era Wolvercote Trove, which included the Tongue, features in the Inspector Morse prequel that was entitled Trove. Most of the Morse filming was carried out in and around Oxfordshire locations.
The parish church in Wolvercote
Like many other counties around the English countryside, the Church of England chose this part of Oxfordshire to build the parish church of Saint Peter. It has a 14th-century west tower with a 15th-century window and doorway. In 1860 the church except for the tower was demolished, and rebuilt to Gothic revival designs. The Norman tub font and a 14th-century south window of the chancel were retained, as well as 17th- and 18th-century monuments to the Walter family.
The Oxfordshire village at the heart of the paper industry
The paper mill in Lower Wolvercote, was the former supplier of paper to the Oxford University Press, and was once a major employer in this part of Oxfordshire. It was in existence by 1720, when it was bought by the 1st Duke of Marlborough. From 1782 the mill was leased to Oxford printer and publisher William Jackson, proprietor of the local newspaper Jackson's Oxford Journal which was published until 1928. The mill was entirely water-powered until 1811, when a steam engine was installed to power the paper-making process. The engine consumed 100 tons of coal per week, which was brought by narrow boat down the Oxford Canal, along Duke's Cut, and then down the mill stream which at the time was navigable as far as a wharf at the mill.
Two of the narrow boats belonged to the mill, having been bought in 1856 and travelled between there and the Midlands for over half a century until the mill sold them in 1916.
