Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy spherical bell fragment. Cast fragment, comprising part of the upper hemisphere of a one-piece cast bell with a single blow hole and a low rectangular top loop.

The interior surface is stained by rust, suggesting the loss and deposit of the bell with its iron clapper, and its subsequent decay and breakage. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1700. Diameter (in excess of): 27mm, Height: 23.7mm, Thickness (wall near middle): 1.9mm, Weight: 8.70gms.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead alloy ampulla. Hollow cast bag shaped pilgrim badge, with snall angular loops at its neck. One side of the body bears radial ridges resembling those of a cockle shell.
