A fragment of crudely made Medieval lead window vent. Weight 16.22g, surviving length 54.74mm, surviving width 54.07mm, thickness 2.43mm. The fragment shows a foliate motif similar to fleur de lis. Such window vents were in use up until the end of the 16th century and an example of a late vent can be seen at Hampton Court. This fragment could have come from a monastic building. These window vents seem to copy local monastic window tracery styles for their design, and decline in use after the dissolution of the monasteries.

Probably an incomplete copper-alloy pendant (probably harness pendant) of Medieval date, c. AD 1100-1400. The artefact is being described as 'probably' a pendant due to its incomplete state and that fact that most pendant's suspension lugs are set at 90 degrees from the rest of the artefact which is not the case with this item. The pendant seems to have been trefoil or leaf-shaped however at least two of the lobes have definitely had part of the lobe break off.
