Silver gilt finger ring with a moulded bezel in the form of a multi-lobed cross with eight raised granules around a central cross with equal pointed arms within a diamond-shaped border. On the opposite end of the hoop are a moulded pair of clasped hands with incised fingers and moulded transverse cuffs, typical of a fede or 'faith' ring.

Silver cut half of a short cross penny of John (1199-1216), Class Vb1 (c.1205), moneyer Iohan, mint of Canterbury. The class is Vb1 (Wren 1992, pp.52-53), distinguished by the fact that on the obverse the hand holding the sceptre divides the obverse legend between the E and X of REX, whereas the majority of legends on all classes of short cross pennies are divided between the R and EX. Mass (2001) illustrates a very similar penny of Iohan of Canterbury, Class Vb1 in plate 51, no.1365, which is dated to 1205.

Copper alloy rim fragment from a bowl or cooking vessel with an internally bevelled rim that is triangular in profile and flush with the upper edge of the vessel. The interior surface of the bowl is smooth and well -finished while the exterior is slightly rougher with striation marks from turning.
