Small lead cloth seal. The object was probably a four-part seal; there are signs of a breakage on the second disc. There are two discs surviving; the first disc has the rivet that would have been fitted into the fourth disc (missing), this would have had a perforation to provide a means for attachment. The obverse of the first disc is not decorated. The second disc, and only other surviving part of this object, has an obverse design of a crown with three possible thistles emerging. Below the crown are three, possibly four letters, possibly reading FSAO. The reverse of this disc…

A four-disc lead cloth seal (the discs are joined by a strip, which has been folded, and the rivet has been pushed through the fourth disc and hammered to hold the seal in place). The second disc is stamped with the two conjoined shields of the Commonwealth, one with St George's cross, the other with the harp of Ireland, and the third disc has a shield having two shearmen's hooks over a teasel plant, with a chevron erminois - the arms of the Clothworkers' Company, who seem to have taken on a role in cloth sealing nationally in the 1650s.

Lead disc, probably one of the inner discs of a four-part cloth seal. The disc is flat and circular, with two sprues, one either side. One surface is decorated with a crowned bust facing forwards, similar to the busts featured on medieval coins. It is therefore possible that this seal is late medieval in date.

A lead cloth seal of post-medieval date. The object is a two disc cloth seal with the two discs being pressed together. Both discs are worn and broken around the edges giving one the impression of being heart shaped. It is however probable that the seal would originally have been circular in plan. Due to the degree of wear no discernable markings remain. The metal is a mid whitish-brown colour and is worn. The seal is 30.2mm long, 26.1mm wide, 5.3mm thick and weighs 13.3g.
