One disc from a post-medieval lead cloth seal. The disc is decorated with a large crowned letter 'h' in a wreath of leaves. A worn, illegible inscription surrounds.
This seal is probably identical to one from Roughton, Lincolnshire (LIN-A05668). The legend surrounding this seal reads HENRICVS REX. The legend probably refers to Henry VII because of the ?open (non-imperial) crown (or possibly Henry VI)? The crown is somewhat worn but if it was arched it which would make the seal late Henry VII or Henry VIII. It is probably an alnage seal, though it could be a customs one (also presum…

Lead cloth seal. A pair of cast discs linked and clenched together, with a stamped symbol on the face of one disc. The symbol is a broad arrow, and may denote Crown property - exactly the same convention was carried over to the War Office and it is thus best known today as marking Ordnance Survey datum points. The medieval use of the symbol in this region is known from its use on the base of a wooden plate found preserved in garderobe fills associated with a 15th-century building at Lurk lane, Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire (Armstrong et al. 1991, pages 174-5, fig. 121 no. 949).

An incomplete lead cloth seal. One disc of a two disc seal with a central projection on the back. Projecting from the edge of the disc is a strip or tab which would have joined this part to the second, missing disc. There is no decoration on either face of the disc.
