A Medieval (1200-1400) strap end of copper alloy composition (as evidenced by substantial greening), with remaining elements of silvering. The object is narrow and thin, tapering from 10mm at the widest surviving part to 7mm at the narrowest. There are two visible plates connected by a pin, though it is clear from the break point at the narrowest end that there were originally two pins and it is at this weak point it has snapped. some compressed dried soil obscures a view of the inside.
The upper plate is decorated with a clear border, the area inside of which has remnants of a cross-hatched decoration at the surviving pin. A crack in the top plate, and a general bend in the object, marks the boundary between areas with surviving decoration and those rubbed bare.
The lower plate is plain, with a significant buildup of verdigris around the crack in the bottom plate.

An incomplete lead alloy plumbob dating to the Medieval period. The weight is oval in plan and cross-section with a central decorated panel on each face. The decorated panel on each face sits within an oval depression with the decoration on one face consisting of a zig-zag ridge running the length of the panel with three pellets between each turn of the ridge. The opposite face of the object is decorated with an scroll pattern.
The top of the object is incomplete and is dished with a projection at each edge. These projections would have expanded to form an attachment loop when complete. The object has a mid-white patina and is in good condition.
Dimensions: 62mm in length, 18mm in width, 8mm thick, 66.3g

An incomplete lead alloy plumbob dating to the medieval period. The weight is oval in plan and cross-section with a central decorated panel on each face. The decorated panel on each face sits within an oval depression with the decoration consisting of a series of pellets and diagonal ridged lines.
One end of the object is incomplete and is dished with a projection at each edge. These projections would have expanded to form an attachment loop when complete. Similar line and pellet decoration is commonly found on medieval spindle whorls.

An incomplete cast copper alloy object dating from the 12th-13th century. The object is sub-oval in plan with a sub-rectangular tab projecting from one side. The tabbed projection is pierced with a regular circular perforation. One side of the object is engraved with a face. The oval face has an open down-turned mouth, a long narrow nose and oval eyes. Below and to the right of the perforation is a small trefoil. The remains of gilding can be seen on the face and trefoil.
On the rear of the object are two engraved curved lines which appear to be deliberate decoration.
The use of gilding makes a Medieval date likely and the face would not be out of place on a Medieval object, nor would the little trefoil, (K. Leahy, pers. comm). The function of this object is unknown. An object with a similar face interpreted as Christ as Man of Sorrows - i.e. copious tears at the burden of the world's evils/the crucifixion in prospect, which can be found on the database is Atherton, R (2005) DENO-B7F1D4 A MEDIEVAL PILGRIM BADGE Webpage available at: http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/87224, however no exact parallel is currently known.

Cast copper alloy dagger pommel dating to the Medieval period. The object is semi-circular in plan and domed. The object is hollow. At the top of the object is a sub-square opening and at the base a wide oval opening. The openings would have allowed the tang of the dagger to pass through the pommel. The opening at the top of the object is 6.67mm wide and 6.06mm in length. At the base of the object the opening measures 23.10mm in width and 6.81mm in length. At each end of the base of the object is a circular depression for attachment.
The object has a brownish green patina. This type of pommel has been dated to the 11th - 12th century in Oakeshott: 'Records of the Medieval Sword' Boydell Press, 1991.

It is round in plan and sub-oval in cross section. The bell has a simple form. The top of the object is rounded and it widens towards its open base. A broken circular loop is integrally cast at the top of the object. A moulded ridge runs around the outer base of the bell. There is no other visible decoration. The object is quite damaged, a fragment of the base rim is missing and a large crack runs along a portion of the moulded ridge. The patina has also been damaged and the attachment loop broken. The remains of an iron pea is visible but badly corroded. The corrosion from the pea has spread to the internal surface of the bell.
This simple form is undatable. However the best parallel for this object is Medieval (Object and Economy in Medieval Winchester -pp 726-7, Fig 207, No 2270) said to be late 11th- early 12 century.Daniel Pett54.637GoostreyLVPL-EFDE772748001BELLRestricted Accessfinds-2748001146.726LVPL-EFD5D7Incomplete1050images/voakden/32281880014AEEFDE1017EF42009-11-02T15:42:25ZPossiblyx1422112009-07-31T23:00:00Z0MEDIEVALCopper alloy41431MD1Circa29http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/MEDIEVALCertainCivil Parish2022-07-14T07:08:43.539ZCheshire East100Unitary AuthorityCast1Metal detectorLVPL-5BFF54.jpg435532009From a paper map12133MD4.03Unitary AuthorityCertain1LVPL4355338.821600Restricted Accessx142212009201113.4Cheshire East110942011-02-24T13:14:58ZNorth WestCast lead incomplete object of uncertain function and of possible medieval date. It is sub-circular in plan and oval in section. The outer edge is raised and rounded on the upper surface while the reverse is flat. The upper surface is decorated with a flower-like design consisting of two raised petals and a raised central circle. Two more petals probably decorated the opposite half which is missing. A raised border encloses the flower. There is a small circular indentation on the reverse of the object. This is an interesting object however it's function is unknown.
