Bat Tiles:
Provide help for our bats with our range of bat friendly roof tiles.
Did you know that all UK bats and their roosts are protected by law? The Wildlife and Countryside Act introduced in 1981, gave legal protection to all bat species and their roosts in England.
Distinct species of bats prefer differing places to roost. The two most usually found species of bat in the UK are the Pipistrelle and Brown Long-Eared Bat. Pipistrelle prefer confined spaces such as under tiles on roofs and hanging spaces. The Brown Long-Eared Bat prefer roof timbers and ridges inside lofts. Heritage Clay Tiles can provide purpose made access points within your roof tiles or ridge tiles. The Bat Tile Set can form part of a mitigation package required by law for existing roosts or as potential access where a roost had not previously been present.

Victorian Roof Tiles
Let's face it, roof tiles are designed primarily to keep out rain and heat, and are traditionally made from locally available materials such as clay. Some clay tiles have a waterproof glaze. With a large number of shapes and profiles of roof tiles have evolved over the years, but the traditional Victorian roof tile is a perrenial favourite not only in the United Kingdom, but around the globe. The Victorian era gave rise to many innovations and the architecture of this time was crowned with the durable and attractive Victorian roof tile.
As well as being a beautiful roof tile, rich in the history of tile making, our Victorian roof tile will able to keep out the very worst weather, ensuring your property never suffers from water leaking into the roof space. The quality and integrity of our Victorian roof tile is second to none.
Victorian roof tile: Quality without compromise
At Heritage Clay Tiles Ltd, we ensure that we only produce the very highest quality roof tiles and related roofing products. Our Victorian roof tile is no exception either. Adhering to traditional manufacturing methods, our customers are assured of a premium quality product at a fantastic price.
Even though the price of our Victorian roof tile is as low as we can make it, our customers will never have to compromise on the quality of the roof tiles they receive from us. Our customers expect the best from us and that is exactly what they will get with our Victorian roof tile.
Clay roofs have maintained their popularity mainly because of their aesthetic appeal and durability. Many clay roof tile manufacturers will offer a guarantee of thirty years, but experts believe that clay tiles should last for a minimum period of sixty years. As most people are aware, there are many roofs covered in clay roof tiles that have well exceeded one hundred years without any issues. The lifespan of clay roof tiles can be extended depending on where you live and how well maintained they are.
If the roof tiles are exposed to sustained periods of very severe weather, there are likely to require repairs at some stage. In areas where the weather is less of an issue, clay roof tiles will be able to withstand typical weather seasons without any problems.
Here at Heritage Clay Tiles Ltd we appreciate that the weather is something beyond our control and severe weather conditions will always test the durability of clay roof tiles over a protracted period of time. This is why we supply all our clay roof tiles to be robust and stand the test of time and our handmade Victorian roof tiles are no different.
Although bad weather can give roof tiles a bad time, the Victorian roof tile from Heritage Clay Tiles Ltd actually look better once they have weathered and aged a little. They just seem to blend into the property even better by taking on the mosses and lichens that give roofs a pleasing aged look.
Our professional sales team are able to advise you on the Victorian roof tile we carefully hand produce and any other roofing product from our vast range. Why not look at the select a blend section on our website and mix some other clay tiles into a blend to make the Victorian roof tile you lay look even more stunning?
A little information about Surrey
The Magna Carta at Runnymede, Surrey
One only has to watch a YouTube video where someone is arguing with an official or a police officer and the erosion of their civil rights and it won't be too long before you hear the term Magna Carta mentioned. What exactly is the Magna Carta and what is its connection with the county of Surrey?
On the 15th June 1215, a Surrey meadow was to become the historic setting for one of the defining events in English history, this is particularly relevant for law scholars too.
That fateful day King John gave his assent to a Charter of Liberties limiting and controlling his royal power. The king was pressured into signing by many disgruntled and rebellious Barons and he was not remotely happy about signing it at all. The Charter is now known throughout the world as Magna Carta.
The full and correct title in medieval latin was Magna Carta Libertatum, literally meaning Great Charter of Freedoms, but frequently shortened to simply Magna Carta.
Opposition to King John
The events that led up to the meeting at Runnymede Surrey began with local opposition to the kings levying of taxes to pay for his many war campaigns in 1214. The resistance began in the north of England and spread to East Anglia. By the beginning of 1215, as King John refused the rebels demands, England sat on a knife edge of civil war. At Stony Stratford the rebels renounced their oaths of homage to the king, essentially declaring war on him. Ordinarily this would amount to treason and the death penalty, but as the opposition to the king was by now so widespread, the the rebels were instead able to force their agenda upon the unwilling king. With the fall of London to the barons in May, King John was obliged to negotiate. He moved from Odiham in Hampshire to Windsor, while the advance guard of the barons moved west to Staines. Runnymede in Surrey was where the two sides met, as it was half way between and considered neutral ground.
Surrey becomes etched in history
On June 15 in a formal peace making ceremony in the Surrey meadow of Runnymede, King John gave grudgingly gave his assent to the Charter of Liberties. Four days later oaths were sworn by the two sides to observe the terms of the Charter, and the barons then renewed their homage to the king. The signing of Magna Carta ended one civil war, and it was shortly to start another, the war of Magna Carta. It was not until 1225, when King Johns son Henry III reissued the charter, that it achieved official status and became Englands basic law, in essence the charter was the foundation of a set of ground rules that determined the effective working of political society.
Now this is where the YouTube activists tend to fall flat as only four clauses of the original 1215 version of Magna Carta remain on the statute book today. These are clauses 1 and 13, guaranteeing the liberties of the Church and the City of London respectively, and the famous clauses 39 and 40, which assure free and fair justice. Many social justice activists today try to twist Magna Carta to their own ends, insisting various rights under this ancient charter made many hundreds of years before in a peaceful Surrey meadow.
Although much of the charter has been eroded by subsequent legislation and common law principles, it remains the cornerstone of our liberties, a source of inspiration for people all over the world seeking liberty, and a reminder of the importance of the rule of law in shaping our society. Runnymede in Surrey, where the terms of the Charter were agreed, is for many a hallowed and much visited site. This quiet Surrey location was acquired for all to visit and enjoy in 1929 and is today owned and maintained by the National Trust.
Magna Carta memorial in Surrey
Nestling in a grassed enclosure, on the slopes of Coope's Hill, sits a memorial with a domed classical style monopteros, containing a pillar of English granite on which is inscribed with 'To commemorate Magna Carta, symbol of Freedom Under Law'. The memorial was created by the American Bar Association, rather strange at first as this was an English historical event, that happened on English soil. However, as the American justice system grew up from the English system it is maybe not so surprising after all. The memorialt was unveiled on 18 July 1957 at a ceremony attended by American and English lawyers.
In 2007, on its 50th anniversary, the American Bar Association again visited Runnymede in Surrey. During its convention it installed as President Charles Rhyne, who devised Law Day, which in the USA represents an annual reaffirmation of faith in the forces of law for peace. Floodlights were installed in 2008 to light the memorial at night.
In 2015, in anticipation of the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta, the two wooden benches at the memorial were replaced by stone benches. On 15 June, the anniversary day, the American Bar Association, accompanied by the United States Attorney General, rededicated the memorial in a ceremony led by The Princess Royal in the presence of the Queen and other members of the Royal family.
