Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete lead alloy medieval pilgrim's ampulla, dating from c. AD 1350-1530. The bowl is semi-circular in plan and the neck is sub-rectangular in cross-section flaring outwards at the top.

The opposite face appears to be undecorated however the decoration may just not be visible due to wear. The top of the ampulla is pressed together. A hole has been punched from the rear (undecorated side) through to the front of the object. At the rear the hole is circ…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead alloy spindle whorl or loom weight of probable medieval date. It is oval in plan and conical in section with a flat base. All surfaces are undecorated and have an uneven pale grey patina. The central perforation is 6mm in diameter, and is exposed on one side, presumably due to damage. Lead weights of this form were commonly used throughout the medieval and post-medieval period and are therefore difficult to date accurately. Examples of spindle whorls have reportedly been found in contexts dated from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period although the majority are…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large lead alloy weight of uncertain date. The object is circular in plan and has a central circular perforation and raised rim. The perforation has an internal diameter of 12mm. Each face is undecorated. Dimensions: 61mm in diameter, 15mm thick, 420g. The dating of lead objects of this general type is problematic, and their use is invariably uncertain. The term 'weight' is used here in its broadest sense to include uses that do not involve weighing (e.g. holding-down, tensioning, etc.). They were probably mostly used as net weights, loom weights.

An incomplete lead alloy spindle whorl of medieval date. The object would have been circular in plan when complete with a central circular perforation.

A 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. Each face sits within an oval depression. The decorated panels are slightly unclear; however, the decoration on one face appears to consist of a zig-zag ridge running the length of the panel with three pellets between each turn of the ridge. Any decoration on the opposite face of the object is very unclear. The top of the object forms an attachment loop. The object has a mid-white patina and is in good condition. Dimensions: 70mm in len…

A circular lead alloy spindle whorl, bi conical in section, with a pale grey patina. It is almost complete, with a ridged line running around the outer perimeter which is slightly chipped away in places. It is decorated on both faces with different free form designs composed of raised lines forming figure- of -eight loops and interlacings, with a crude shape on either face that maybe interpreted as a figure with arms that extend into the design, and possible pseudo runic elements, with figures that could be interpreted as a letter 'W' and an 'O'.

A lead alloy spindle whorl of medieval date. The object is circular in plan and biconical with a central circular perforation. The perforation has an internal diameter of 9mm. Surrounding the central perforation are 14 raised pellets. Moulded lines run out from the perforation to a circular band resulting in the formation of seven 'cells'. Each cell contains two pellets.
