An incomplete lead decorative object of Post-Medieval to Early Modern date (c. AD 1800-1900). The object is sub-oval in plan measuring 47.6mm x 41.2mm x 6mm. The front of the object is decorated in a stamped armorial decoration of the royal shield with traces of the legend [HONI SOIT] QUI MAL [Y PEN]SE which translates to ‘May he be shamed who thinks badly of it’.

An incomplete cast lead Post Medieval decorative mount of probable 17th century date. The object is sub-circular in plan with iron corrosion product on two sides indicating it is probably perforated by a small iron rod, which suggests it may be related to a structure/building. The face is decorated with a central raised concentric moulding c.11.8mm in diameter and 8 spokes radiating from it to a raised outer border. Single raised pellets are between each of the spokes. The mount is likely to be an external decorative fitting e.g. for pipework or a window. The object measures 29.0 in d…

Fragment of silver decorative mount, broken top and bottom. The outline has the superficial resemblance to spoon handle terminals, but the figurative decoration is the wrong way round, and the cast is hollow on the reverse and clearly intended to sit against a flat surface. The mount has a tapering form, widest the base of the main motif. This has the form of a crowned reliquary bust of a female saint with long hair, facing forward. The background is filled with asymmetrical vegetal scrolls, against a rusticated surface. Below the bust is a smaller triangular panel filled with what…
