Medieval lead weight
The weight is of shield-shaped form and is near-complete but has damage cuts to the top surface (with a length of 56.8mm). The top edge is near-straight (where it has a maximum width of 52.1mm), the sides are gently convex and converge to the base. The sides are also slightly angled towards the top face. The face as a border (of 5mm) before a step (of 2.8mm) defining an inner shield (42mm long and 31mm wide). Any decoration on the shield in no longer evident. The rear of the weight is flat and is not decorated.
The weight has a current weight of 225.1g, equivalent to 7.94 ounces, or 0.496 pounds, suggesting that the weight was a half-pound weight Avoirdupois.

The handle is fragmentary, with only the outer end present, which is of bifurcating form and is broken at both ends (with a surviving length of 23.2mm and weighing 11.2g). The looped handle (56.5mm wide at the bifurcated end) is of sub-hexagonal section (between 3.2mm and 4.5mm thick and between 4.8mm and 6.2mm wide). The surface is corroded with remnants of a dark-green patina and with file marks evident on one face. The handle is likely to been attached to a lug riveted through the dish.
The handle form resembles those found at Norwich, as recorded by Margeson (1993, p.81, nos. 489-491)[1] especially no. 491 which has the same two-lobed form, which has been dated to the 15th and 16th centuries. Lewis also records chafing dishes with two-lobed handles of 16th to 17th century date and suggests that they may be particular to Britain, as only one had been found on the Continent at that time (Lewis, 1978, p. 35)[2].

Lead tokens have variously been identified as trade tokens, counters, pilgrimage souvenirs, hop or farm tokens, tavern tokens, merchant seals and gaming pieces. Lead tokens are thought to have circulated from the medieval period to the nineteenth century. Although this example is not dated, tokens with comparable pictorial bird motifs have been dated to the seventeenth century (i.e. Mitchiner and Skinner 1984, 131, nos.164-168, pl.19) and such a date would probably not be inappropriate for this example.2Unitary AuthorityProbablyNMGW439251540Restricted Accessx14221263516576.4Wiltshire110942011-02-24T12:19:17ZSouth WestTwo-sided lead, or lead alloy (pewter), token.

Late medieval to early post medieval copper alloy thimble of open type or 'sewing-ring' of mid-15th to late-16th century date
The thimble is complete but has impact damage on its tope edge (with a length of 10.0mm and a weight of 2.7g). The sides are bevelled towards the base (with internal diameters at the apex and base of 15.0mm and 17.4mm respectively) and has four rows of punched, circular indentations, now worn and corroded. There are no rim mouldings or discernible incised borders at either end. The thimble is of a comparatively heavy construction (with a thickness of 0.6mm). The surface is worn and corroded with a dark-brown corrosion.

Medieval cast copper alloy domed thimble, possibly of 15th to mid-16th century date
The thimble is near-complete with slight damage to the rim (with a length of 12.2 and a weight of 3.7g). The mouth is near-circular (with a diameter of 16.7mm - 17.0mm and with a rim thickness of 0.9mm). Above the rim are two incised border lines before the indentations. The sides of the thimble are slightly convex and converge towards the domed top. The thimble has seven or eight rows of hand-punched indentations, which are irregularly placed, probably in vertical lines. The indentations continue onto rounded top of the thimble but there is an area without indentations before a single indentation at the apex. The thimble has a dark green-brown surface patina.
The thimble appears to have comparatively small indentations and therefore may belong to Holmes' (FDS 9, 1991) Light-duty thimbles for finer work and light fabrics, probably of the type illustrated in his figure 1c, dated from the mid-14th to mid-15th century.

The base of the thimble is a rounded, uneven square in section with a maximum internal diameter of 17.1mm. The indentations are numerous and cover the entirety of the sides and top. Unusually the indentations have varying sizes, and are arranged very haphazardly, likely in a mixture of uneven rows and columns, giving the effect of a random distribution.

An incomplete copper alloy fragment, probably a strap fitting or buckle, of Medieval date probable 13th-15th century AD. The obverse is decorated with incised lines in a geometric motif with incised cast border and dashes inside. The image may have been zoomorphic, possibly a mythical beast. The irregular dashed line motif within a curved solid border is characteristic of depictions of wyverns or Amphisbaena (a serpentine creature with a head at each end) elsewhere in the database e.g. NARC-0F0620, HAMP-AFC375, SUR-03156A.
The reverse is plain and worn with scratches/filing across the surface. There is no evidence of rivet holes. The object is a dark green patina and measures at 20mm in height, 22.7mm in width, 0.6mm thick and weighs 1.14g.

A complete cast copper alloy strap slide with internal projections of medieval date (c.1150-1400 AD). The object is slightly trapezoidal (23.4mm wide at the inside edge compared to 27.4mm at the outside), and rectangular in section. The outside edge is decorated- there are two non-identical knops at the corners of the edge, and two central paired knop mouldings. Two opposed internal projections near the inside edge. The maximum width for a strap through the base would have been 19.2mm.
