Incomplete fragment of a cast copper alloy trivet stand for a chafing dish of late medieval or post medieval date (1400-1700). The fragment comprises a small amount of the frame and an irregular sub-triangular shaped foot. The fragment is undecorated and irregular in both profile and plan. The foot is broadly sub-rectangular with taper edges and a wedge shaped slightly pointed foot. It is likely that there were a number (probably 3-4 of these feet evenly spaced around the edge of the trivet providing both stability and height for the chafing dish. The angle of the leg, when the foot is…

Fragment from a cast copper alloy chafing dish 'drop' handle of late Medieval or Post Medieval date (1400-1650). The fragment represents approximately half of the entire handle being irregular in plan and an irregular hexagonal shape in cross section. The upper section of the handle has a different cross section being broadly oval; this is because it would have fitted through an attachment lug which would in turn fit to the chafing dish. This lug would allow the handle to swing and pivot. The frame of the handle is angular in shape with several pointed (star like) projections. …

A fragment of cast copper alloy vessel of probable later medieval to post medieval date (1350 - 1650). The fragment is much worn and irregular in shape. The upper edge is thickened with a stepped and in-turned rim. The vessel fragment is a mid green colour with an abraded patina a black carbonised (soot-like) deposit is present on the outer edge. It is therefore possible that this is a chafing dish fragment. The fragment measures 24.8mm length, 32.0mm width, is 4.7mm thick at rim, 2.6mm thick at body and weighs 9.03 grams.

A medieval silver annular brooch. The frame is formed from silver wire, half of which is round in section, while the other half has been formed into square wire, twisted to give the appearance of cabling, with punched decoration running along the twists. There is a constriction for the pin (now missing), at which point the brooch is broken, probably at the point of the original soldering. The brooch is otherwise in good condition. The brooch dates to the 13th-14th century. This is a well-known type of medieval brooch. See SUSS-7AC4AA; HAMP-999097 and DOR-715865 for similar examples. …
