Cast copper alloy bow of an Early-Medieval key, c.900-1100. The bow would have been sub-circular in plan but large sections of it are missing. It had an openwork design and small rounded knops on the outer edge, only one of which now remains. The actual design of the openwork is not clear due to breaks but there is a circular hole below the one remaining knop.

Cast copper alloy Early Medieval key, dating from the pre-conquest period up to c.1200. It is incomplete, the bow being broken. It would have been oval in shape but more than half is missing. It meets the stem in a point with a broken internal element suggesting the bow may have been openwork. The stem is very short, it has a sub-circular cross-section and is hollow; it is broken slightly at the end. The bit is a rectangle, protruding at 90 degrees from the stem. It is openwork with a central rectangular perforation into which project two teeth/prongs above and two below, facing…

Cast copper alloy Roman key handle/bow. Only the bow remains, having broken where it would meet the shaft. This is a deviant on the usual fleur-de-lis style handles. It has two curved lobes at the base with circular perforations. The upper section consists of a scroll motif with the ends curling back towards the centre. At the base, there is a rectangular section with two raised transverse ribs. This narrows to where it would have met the shaft. There is some iron corrosion, suggesting the shaft was made from iron.

Cast copper alloy Roman key handle. The key is incomplete with only the openwork trilobate or 'fleur de lys' handle surviving. On top of the central lobe is an integral globular knop. All three recesses of the fleur are in the shape of a key-hole with narrowed lower halves. The two outside lobes have a curved extension from their sides. The openwork lobes are situated on top of a double rectangular collar which is cracked in the centre. It then narrows to where it would have attached to the shaft but this is now broken. A similar example can be seen in Crummy (1983), figure 14…

A copper alloy key dating from the Medieval period. The bow is lozenge shaped with rounded knops on the corners. It has a semi-spherical base, which then leads into a two-pronged section. The lower prong appears complete and has a octagonal cross-section. The upper prong has broken close to the handle. From more complete examples it is likely that this prong would have continued on to the bit. For reference see number 29 in plate XXX (p140) of the London Museum Medieval Catalogue (1940). Keys of this style fall into Ward Perkins' type V and probably date from the 13th or 14th ce…

Just below this there is a small rectangular hole in the shaft. The bit is broken and only a small rectangular protrusion remains.

Cast copper alloy Roman rotary key handle/bow. It is an open work trilobate/ fleur-de-lis design with part of the iron shaft still remaining. The terminal has a smal rounded knop and in the angles there are small extensions. The central bar separating the two bottom lobes has broken, leaving it more like a C-shape. The handle widens from the bow, and has two transverse ridges. It then appears to be attached to the iron shaft, broken almost immediately afterwards.

Cast copper alloy Medieval rotary key handle/bow. Incomplete, bow only. Lozenge shaped bow with four circular holes (diameter c.5mm), one in each corner. The bow terminates in a hollow circular tubular loop (external diameter 14.5mm) set at 90 degrees to the bow. The bow is broken where it would have met the shaft, leaving a broken edge. The knop on the bow presumably had a function. It is possible that it formed another key - it could engage with two prongs. Alternatively it could simply be for suspension. Two keys with tubular loops on the bow are published in Ward Perkins …
