An incomplete, copper alloy object of unknown date, potentially part of a stirrup terminal of early Medieval date (c. AD 1000-1100). The object is irregularly shaped. It starts at the top as more trapezoidal in plan, expanding from 15.34mm wide to 19.29mm over a distance of c. 14.25mm. Beneath this it narrows to 17.20mm and gradually expands to 18.81mm over a distance of c. 10.75mm. At this point, it becomes more semi-circular in plan, with the left edge arching to the left before returning towards the right in an irregular manner, creating two seemingly rounded projections near the b…

An Iron stirrup of uncertain date, likely to be Post Medieval, c. 17th to 19th century.The top of the stirrup is rounded with two irregular perforations in the centre, through which the strap would probably have been suspended. Below the loop, the sides are straight and diverge and widen towards the base, with a maximum width of 7.8mm. The sides are rectangular in section. The flat base has a wider section, mostly made up of iron concretion. These is an impression of binding within these concretion, possibly suggestion they cover an addition to the foot of the stirrup, held on with …

A complete and very well preserved cast iron stirrup, dating from the Post-medieval period. The stirrup consists of a wide loop with a flat, elongated foot plate (39mm wide) and a square strap loop at the top. This stirrup probably dates from the 17th-18th centuries and is in remarkably good condition. It measures 149mm in height, 153mm in diameter and the metal has a maximum thickness of 10mm. It weighs 199.1g It may be compared to examples found at Beeston Castle, Cheshire, possibly in Civil War layers (Courtney in Ellis (ed.) 1993, 145; nos 124-128).

A copper alloy stirrup fragment. It measures 68mm long and 40mm high. In its complete form, this style of stirrup has a shell-shaped cover plate guarding the strap attachment and a broad, flat footrest formed of four curved and twisted bars. It seems to have been introduced towards the end of the fifteenth century in response to changes in foot-armour. The use of copper alloy is unusual as medieval stirrups are usually made of iron, though medieval craftsmen tended to follow the same patterns regardless of the material being used. Only ten or so copper alloy examples have been found a…

Cast copper alloy fragment of a stirrup with a scallop-shaped mount, decorated with six incised oblique lines, above the frame of the stirrup. The oval aperture behind the mount has been broken open and bent back in on itself. Bailey (2002) illustrates a similar example on page 40 which is dated from the 15th to the 16th century.

Fragment of copper alloy stirrup of a 13th/14th century type, patinated but very dark in colour, almost black. This dark surface has been scratched through to reveal the coppery colour beneath, for decoration. The fragment consists of the top of the stirrup and conceals the loop to which the strap would have attached behind an integral plate. An arm extends to create the stirrup on either side of the loop and integral plate, but is broken (recent-ish break) high up, quite close to the plate. The integral plate is rectangular in shape, measuring 51.2x31mm. The lower edge has a lip proj…

Medieval iron stirrup. It is complete, and covered in relatively compact corrosion so that the edges of the artefact have retained their shape. It measures 140mmlong 38mm wide and 161mm high and weighs 233.58g. At the top of the stirrup is a rectangular plate (56x33mm) masking the attachment loop. It may have been decorated and the bottom edge has two evenly spaced indentations suggesting a scalloped edge, but the corrosion means this is difficult to confirm. The plate is held by two arms, one either side, projecting from the main body of the stirrup. These create a space between th…

Copper alloy medieval stirrup fragment. The fragment is part of the top section of a stirrup (a support hung from the saddle consisting of metal loops into which rider's feet go). The loop into which the rider would put his foot does not survive. The surviving element of the stirrup is the suspension loop which is rectangular. From this, the stirrup would have been attached to straps. The front of the suspension loop has a superficial trapezoidal shaped plate with a decorative double groove at the top and bottom. There is also faint wheel roller decoration on the plate. Protrudi…

Copper-alloy object, probably the upper portion of a stirrup.

On the reverse the upper edge of the sides are joined by an integral cross bar. This bar is angular on the lower portion and rounded on the upper edge. The roundedness is due to wear, perhaps due to…

Medieval copper alloy stirrup fragment, 45mm long, 40mm wide and 12mm thick. The object consists of a sheet of copper alloy which is folded to form an oval section with outward tapering side. There are two trefoil cut outs, one in each upper corner. In between these is a raised rib running vertically down the object. On one side of the object is a protruding circular shaft and there are the remains of another on the opposite side. Their alignment would have given the complete object a sub triangular form.

An incomplete copper alloy stirrup, dating to the later medieval period, AD c.1230 to 1450. The object consists of the attachment end of the stirrup. With a trapezoidal cover-plate which sits in front of the suspension bar, which is narrower. On the upper, narrower edge of the cover-plate the stirrup is decorated with an crenulated edge. One of the arms of the stirrup is worn and broken, the other descends down before ending in a worn break. The stirrup has a light green patina, the measurements are not available. Similar stirrups can be seen in Clark 1995, pages 72 to 74.

Heavily corroded forged wrought iron Medieval stirrup. The frame is approximately 126mm tall by 100mm wide and is in the shape of a convex-sided triangle with the apex at its attachment end. The straight tread-plate is inset by around 14mm up from the base. The sides are approximately 11mm wide and expand at the basal end via a linear taper just before the tread-plate to form 26mm wide rectangular side-plates. The tread-plate is the same width as the side-plates. The suspension loop attached to the neck at the apex has entirely corroded away. There is a dearth of information available…

Incomplete cover plate of the box mounted at the apex of a Post-medieval copper alloy stirrup in the form of a scallop shell or crown. The edges at the side are missing, having been broken off with the bar which would have formed the rear of the box. The moulded plate is formed of six incised radiating oblique lines, above a transvere border. In the centre of the convex upper edge, there is a rectangular knop, 8 mm wide and protruding 6 mm from the edge. This makes the plate look like a crown with a mounted element on top. If meant to depict a scallop shell, then it may indicate links…

A Medieval copper alloy stirrup fragment, probably of 14th or 15th century date. The stirrup has the remains of both curving side arms present, but they have broken away at the ends; the stirrup bar is also missing. There is a scallop-shell decorative moulding at the top of the stirrup, which may indicate links with pilgrimage. The scallop-design has deep grooving with a convex upper edge and concave sides and base. Behind the scallp-shell is a rectangular loop, resumably through which a leather strap was fitted.

A fragment of a copper alloy medieval stirrup, dating to c. AD 1350 - 1400. The fragment consists of the trapezoidal cover-plate at the top of the stirrup. This sits in front of the suspension bar, which is narrower. This creates a rectangular slot in which the strap could be attached, this is 6.4mm wide across the bar and cover-plate. The top of the cover plate is crenellated, the raised sections have a longitudal groove across them. Below this is a groove running across the cover plate. This is then followed by a panel decorated with zig zag vertical lines, three of the lines are co…
