Neither the Accession Register nor the catalogue card gives any Place information: the catalogue card lists 'no locality', although for C "? from Bawsey kiln' is listed. A brown paper bag marked 'Cambridge Pembroke College 795' was found in 2000, and was bagged as relating to D 1950.10 C.

Context (Amendments / updates)
Another brown paper bag marked 'Cambridge Pembroke College 794 Zfxx.' has now been found from a clear bag labelled 'D 1950.10 B', which might have previously contained this tile. Therefore Pembroke College has been added to the Place field.
