Cast copper alloy single loop D-shaped buckle with a frame embellished with an ornate outer edge, and a narrowed and offset strap bar. The outer edge of the frame has a notched lip flanked on either side by a pair of transverse knops. Egan and Pritchard have published a close parallel, recovered from excavations in London, which dates to c.AD1350 to c. AD 1400 (1991, 73, no.297). A broadly comparable date for the St Nicholas buckle is not unreasonable.

Cast copper alloy single loop buckle with a plain circular frame, probably dating from 14th to the early 15th century (Ottaway & Rogers 2002, 2886). There has been confusion in categorising annular brooches and annular buckles, Egan’s (in Egan & Pritchard 1991, 64-5) definition of brooch frames having a constriction or a hole for the pin, would result in this example being categorised as a buckle. The frame is slightly oval, possibly as a result of distortion and is circular in cross-section. The pin is still attached and has an open loop around the frame. The pin is ‘D’ shaped …

Cast copper alloy sub-rectangular buckle frame of 15th to 17th century date. The frame has a wide pronounced lip with angled sides. The bar is thinned with a central expanded area indicating the position of the missing pin. This area would suggest the buckle had a folded sheet plate, which is now lost. The sides are concave and the outside edge of the frame is rounded.

Cast copper alloy buckle frame with central bar of Late Medieval date. Buckle consisting of rectangular inside loop, with larger oval outside loop. The moulded bar has a recess to house the now missing pin. The pin notch is evident on the frame. A buckle of the same form has been found in London (Egan & Pritchard 1991) which still retains its leather strap and illustrated the method of attachment via two rivets secured by a bar-mount through a leather strap around the rectangular part of the frame (ibid. p102). The date may be verified from a buckle found on a Late Medieval burial at …

Annular ring of copper alloy. This is likely to be a simple annular or oval buckle frame of Medieval date, probably 13th –15th century. The ring is plain with a simple notch on one face to house the pin. The frame is expanded at the point of the notch. The profile of the frame is generally ‘D’ shaped. It is often difficult to distinguish buckles of this type from simple brooches, and there remains a possibility this item is a plain annular brooch.
