A Medieval silver coin; half cut voided long cross penny of Henry III (AD 1216 - 1272), Class Va - Vc dating from AD 1250 - 1256. The moneyer is probably Gilbert at Canterbury, but the reverse lettering is not grouped in the usual way reading: "[...]/(RT)[-]/ON C". The coin appears to be double struck, having moved in the die, leaving a wide space after the T of the moneyer's name, and between the HE and the N of HENRIC. It is 16.6mm long, 9.0mm wide and 0.75mm thick. It weighs 0.59gm. See North number 991/1 - 993, pages 226 - 227 of North (1994) Volume 1.

An almost complete cast lead-alloy button dating from AD 1400 - 1700.

The front is decorated with a cross cast in substantial relief within in a raised circular border. This creates 4 quadrant cells and there are also triangles projecting in from the outer edge. The upper surface of the cross is decorated with low pellets evenly spaced along e…

A crudely cast lead unidentified artefact, possibly a weight or a lead adhesive to anchor a fixing into stone. It is probably of post-Medieval date, about AD 1600 - 1900. It is in the form of a blunt cone, with one flat and one rounded face. In the centre of the flat face is a loop or staple of fine copper alloy wire, perhaps a suspension loop or anchoring. There is also a short stub of thicker gauge copper alloy wire protruding from the side, though the function of this second wire, which appears to have no connection to the loop, is uncertain.
