Comments by John Cherry: There are a number of these seals in the British Museums collections. A B Tonnochy Catalogue 1954 no's 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33. They run from the late 13th century to the fifteenth. Presumably each county had one (possibly more). This one has a crowned head in the middle and I would suggest a late 13th or early 14th century date.<\/p>","notes":"
