An incomplete lead medieval to pist-medieval cloth seal. Only one sub-discoidal section survives.

The outer face of the surviving disc is decorated with an off-centre raised motif consisting of a pellet border and four spikey branch-like arms in cruciform in the centre. What looks like a fingerprint, but is probably part of another motif can be seen t…

An incomplete lead post-medieval two-part cloth seal. Both parts are sub-circular in shape with damage to their outer edges and the strip that once connected them is now missing. One part has a sub-circular hole through the centre and the other a projection from the centre of the reverse, which has been passed through the hole and hammered flat to fill it. One face has the letters '[I]DE' on it and the other a three towered castle with part of a lion passant guardant below (arms of Norwich). It is heavily corroded and bent out of shape. Egan (1995, 43-4, no.70-5) illustrates a…

An incomplete lead-alloy post-medieval cloth seal. Only part of one disc remains. This is sub-circular with sections missing around the sides. The outer face is decorated with a square-shield bearing an unclear heraldic device featuring fleur-de-lis to either side, its style suggesting a post-medieval date. There is a small circular hole to one side of the centre. There is a break to one side of the reverse where a long lug would have projected originally. This would have sat through a hole in another disc, the two attached together via a strip at one side. Egan writes 'stamp…
