A fragment of the handle of a medieval to post-medieval chafing dish handle. Only the outer edge consisting of two adjoining curved sections remains. These are rectangular in cross-section. There is a break at either end where two straight sides would have attached.

This is of 16th or 17th century date.  Length: 46.31mm, width: 18.99mm, thickness: 5.09mm, weight: 9.94g

A incomplete lead vessel of probable late medieval or post-medieval date, probably an inkwell. It has a circular base, slightly outwards flaring walls and an everted substantial square rim. The metal is heavily pitted and corroded and there is damage around the rim in places. The object was quite probably an inkwell (see SWYOR-565A19), although may also have had other functions such as dice shaker and small holy water stoop.

A copper-alloy post-medieval vessel repair. It consists of an irregularly shaped section of sheet metal with seven in situ copper-alloy rivets around the edges, each formed from a cone of sheet metal hammered flat. The object would have been used to repair a break in a larger vessel. According to Geoff Egan (pers. com.) conical rivets of this type are of post-medieval date (earlier ones are kite-shaped).

Two fragments from the rims of copper alloy post-medieval cooking vessels. Both come from vessels with slightly everted rims, which have each been repaired using sheet metal and flattened conical sheet metal rivets. The repair on one fragment is larger, folded over the rim itself with four rivets holding it in place. Cooking vessel such as this one were in use for a long period, first becoming common during the 13th and 14th centuries with little change in form well into the post medieval period (Butler and Green 2003, 27), but according to Geoff Egan (pers. com.) conical mends o…
