A complete Medieval to post-Medieval lead alloy standing weight (c. 1200-c. 1600). This weight is sub-square in cross-section and tapers from the base towards the suspension loop at the top. The base is rounded and the top is narrowed and pierced with a circular hole, 3.0mm in diameter. The two faces on the same plane as the hole have indentations. The weight is greyish buff. Height: 37.0mm; width: 15.4mm; thickness: 13.6mm. Weight: 39.28g. Biggs and Withers (2000) suggest that this type of weight first appeared around c. 1200. However, the ease with which lead can be cast…

Object type: BADGE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast and wrought lead alloy badge of uncertain - most probably post medieval (1600-1800) date. The badge is irregular in form (being created from two square shapes aligned at 45 degree to form a star) and rectangular in cross section. The front face has eight evenly but irregularly spaced triangular points extending from a low central circular boss. The overall form is similar to that of a multi-petalled flower with each triangle being divided in half by an interlaced arc. The reverse face is uneven, two small circular scars are present - presumably these are the r…

An incomplete early post-medieval (1500-1700) lead alloy button (probably), missing its integral loop and one of four decorative knops. The button is domed to the front and concave to the reverse, with a prominent casting flash from the centre of which extends the incomplete stem. All breaks are old. A raised ring flanks the central, undecorated, domed element of the button. Around this is a rim decorated with raised transverse ribs. At three of four equidistant points is a flat D-shaped knop, flat to the underside and domed to the front. To the reverse the casting flash runs at a ce…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast lead or lead alloy pan weight of probable late Medieval or Post Medieval date (1250 - 1700). The weight is sub-circular in plan and S shaped in cross section. The weight is undecorated. It is a mid white buff colour with a relatively even and corroded patina that covers all surfaces. A light active powdery corrosion product is present on all surfaces. A direct parallel for this weight has not been found. It is most likely to date from the later medieval or post medieval periods. The weight measures 46.7mm in diameter and is 10.9mm high. It weighs 141.8 grams or 5 ozs.

Cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable late Medieval or Post Medieval date (1250 - 1700). The weight is sub-circular in plan and a globular triangular (pyramidal) shaped in profile. The sides are curved and taper from a wide base to a relatively blunt point. The weight is undecorated. A sub-circular hole has been cast through the centre; from the upper edge but it doesn't project through to the lower. This hole (diameter: 5.6mm) would have allowed the weight to be suspended or aided storage. The underside of the weight has a U shaped sub-circular recess - possibly to allow the wei…

Cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable medieval date (1300 - 1550). The weight is sub-circular in plan and ogivial (egg shaped) in profile (being globular in style). The base is relatively flat and even. The weight is undecorated. A central hole extends through the weight - it is very narrow and clogged with soil - hole diameter: 3.3mm. The weight is a mid grey white colour with an even patina that covers all surfaces. It has been marked and abraded in the soil this has caused it to become asymmetrical. Similar standing weights have been dated to the medieval period. (Norman Biggs…
