A Medieval silver long cross penny of Edwardian issue, probably of Edward 1st, Class 10cf, issued between AD 1305-1310. Mint of London. Cf. North 1991, p. 32, nos. 1040-1043/2. Due to surface wear on the obverse, detail of the crowned bust is obscured, making a full identification difficult. The obverse legend reads: EDWA R ANGL DNS hYB, with a straight simple tail on the R and Roman N. The lettering overall is small and neat on the obverse and much larger on the reverse. Some circumferencial damage is visible, but seems to be from tearing in situ, rather than from clipping.

A complete but damaged Post Medieval cast lead powder measure with a nozzle used for measuring and pouring a charge of gunpowder. The sides of the upper part of the measure, are pushed inwards.

A severely abraded and completely clipped Post Medieval silver sixpence of Elizabeth I, issued in 1575 or perhaps 1577. Cf. North 1991 Vol II, p. 134, no. 1997. Only a faint trace of the crowned bust left with rose behind right is visible and both faces are completely missing their legends due to clipping. The dating above is suggested from what remains of the date surmounting the reverse shield. Based upon known initial marks and the suggested date range, the initial mark on this coin was probably an Eglantine (North 1991 Vol II, p. 134).

A fragment of a cast copper-alloy object, probably a handle of a Post Medieval posnet or skillet, possibly c. 16th-17th centuries AD.

Whereas the head is moulded in the round, with a hollow concave reverse, the wings and tail are flat and styled simply with two sub-triangular wings forming a rough square s…
