England


In England, or better the British Islands, you find the most variety in types/patterns. They are sometimes called after a town or a famous maker or it’s workshop. This does not always mean that the set was actually made in that town or by that workshop. In many cases the type was made by others as well. Sometimes a reference is made to a famous person or a chess club.



























“Staunton” sets are not repeated here, but are at makers and plastic sections of this page.
