Reconstructed jug from the 2017 Rowden Abbey dig

During excavations in 2017 at Rowden Abbey pot shards from the 15th/ 16th century were found on the island at Rowden Abbey. The shards were put together recently using a two part epoxy resin Milliput putty by Hilary Higgot, one of the archaeology team members. A container full of sand was used to support the shards as they were put together.

The vessel is in the possession of Earnest Wainright and on display at Rowden Abbey.
