An incomplete lead cloth seal of Post-Medieval date. Part of one disc survives intact, along with a small section of the lead rivet. At the top the disc has apparently been cut, whch may suggest that it was once part of a larger 4-part seal, or at least had a second disc, all of which are now missing due to old breaks. The front face of the disc is decorated with a square shield containing a central vertical band. To the left of the shield are traces of now illegible lettering. The back face of the disc is flattened and at its centre has a small globular knop that forms part of the now…

A lead cloth seal of Post-Medieval date. This is a one-part, single disc seal that is sub-circular in shape and decorated on both faces.

The upper face is decorated with a square shield bearing a lion rampant and surmounted by a crown, all within an inner circle of pellets. The reverse face carries the inscription R&A 327, presumably a maker's or owner'…

A lead cloth seal fragment. It is one disc only, and is stamped with a Tudor rose, with initials C and R on either side, and probably a crown over, all within a circle.
