Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy cast purse bar (probably Williams class D) of medieval to post-medieval date. The two surviving elements are connected at a loose rotating joint; one part is of roughly triangular shape with two projecting lugs, one of which is now broken. the remaining one secures the second piece, which is a long curving arm that originally supported and secured the fabric of the purse. Two loops, one now broken, illustrate this purpose. The end of the arm suggests a break and implied the arm was originally a loop.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small, cast lead spindle whorl, with a central holed diameter of 8mm. It is of a rounded biconical shape and decorated in the recognisable spindle whorl pattern of one face having an arrangement of radially arranged petalloid rasied areas and the other a series of ridges interspersed with raised pellets.
As the whorl is made of lead, this indicates a roughly medieval to post-medieval date. It is very difficult to apply a more exact date though due to a lack of a more complete diagnostic.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead spindle whorl of biconical shape, cast with a hole of approximately 8.5mm diameter at the centre. One side features the recognisable spindle whorl patternation of raised pellets situated within negative spaces delineated by raised radial ridges. The opposite side is partly degraded but resembles the first.
There is a nick in the side of the body, possibly caused by plough action.
As the whorl is made of lead, this indicates a roughly medieval to post-medieval date. It is very difficult to apply a more exact date though due to a lack of a more complete diagnostic.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead spindle whorl of biconical shape, cast with a hole of approximately 9mm diameter at the centre. The two sides differ in level of corrosion; the less corroded side features the recognisable spindle whorl patternation of raised pellets situated within negative spaces delineated by raised radial ridges. The opposite side is degraded but may feature petalloid designs.
As the whorl is made of lead, this indicates a roughly medieval to post-medieval date. It is very difficult to apply a more exact date though due to a lack of a more complete diagnostic.
