The source says:Customers for these goods were to be found at the royal palace at Clarendon, near Salisbury and in the City itself. It is also known from sites all over southern England. This is mostly in line with what you say but the implied chronology isn't in the source.
The article says In the 13th and 14th centuries Laverstock was the centre of a prosperous ceramic industry, with baluster jugs (polychrome-glazed tall jugs) and aquamaniles being supplied to the nearby Clarendon Palace and distributed all over the south of England, including London which is also not in line with the hook (Its also a run-on sentence). 🏵️Etrius ( Us) 00:01, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
  • A possible alternative hook would simply remove the chronology : ALT1 ... that Laverstock ware pottery was produced to supply the royal palace at Clarendon, but was also used all over the south of England?--AntientNestor (talk) 09:49, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
Much better, I went ahead and replaced the original hook with the new one. Passing. 🏵️Etrius ( Us) 11:50, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
