Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: MODERN
County: Warrington
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy Victorian part of a British army belt closure. This consists of a circular plate with a rectangular bar attached on the back which has broken. The front of the circular plate has a lion above a crown. It would have been fitted (by a part now missing) to one end of a leather belt. It would have passed through a circular aperture on the other end of the belt to firmly lock the two ends together. The general style, and the shape of the crown, suggest that this is Victorian: perhaps 1860 - 1900.

Fragment of a strap, probably from a Post-Medieval breast plate or other armour. Natasha Ferguson from the Centre for Battlefield Archaeology in Glasgow has seen a photograph of this item and says it is probably a 'strap from a piece of armour such as a breast plate which would have been worn in the civil war era'. It consists of two or three sub-rectangular strips of leather, laid on top of each other and held together by circular copper alloy rivets. Both ends and each side are uneven and they all seem to have been damaged/broken. This is only a small fragment of the com…

Record ID: LVPL-9D44F0
Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Warrington
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast lead weight, possibly Roman- Medieval in date. It is conical in shape with a slightly rounded pointed terminal. There is a hole in the base. The surface is uneven and there are some marks where it has been scratched by the plough. There is no sign of an attachment loop so it is unlikely to have been used as a steelyard weight. Weights of this shape and size were used over many periods and so it it difficult to date them more precisely when found out of context.
