Many of the tiles forming this segment of flooring show the inlaid technique. The inlaid technique, first used in the medieval period, was taken up again in England in the 1830s, during the Gothic revival. Inlaid tiles were used in corridors and hallways in secular buildings, but they are most often found as church floors. These are from the 19th-century Anglican church on the Brompton Road, next to the V&A.
