A fragment of medieval lead alloy tracery, probably from a window grille or ventilator, dating to c.1200-1500. It is semi-circular in shape, with old breaks at either end. Projecting to the inside edge are two-and-a-half semi-circular foils. This is probably just under half of its original shape, which was presumably circular. In total, the object measures 41.81mm wide, 21.41mm in height, 4.29mm in thickness and weighs 12.04g. The fragment probably dates to the Medieval period.

A fragment of medieval lead alloy tracery, probably from a window grille or ventilator, dating to c.1200-1500. It is a triangular piece with old breaks and an L-shaped back 5.5mm thick. A diagonal rib at roughly two thirds of the distance from the corner along each line creates a 'filled-in' area c.1.5mm thick, with additions to both side of apparently sheet lead, up to the height of the L-shaped arm. This part of the object therefore has a T-shaped cross-section (without the additional sheeting). Extending at a right angle to the longer arm, just above the diagonal rib, is an arm r…

A fragment of medieval lead alloy tracery, probably from a window grille or ventilator and dating to c. 1200-1500. In plan it is L-shaped with a mostly square cross-section surmounted on one face with a central rib U-shaped in cross-section. At the corner both arms are C-shaped in cross-section, being hollow to the face opposite to that surmounted by the rib. The breaks are old. It has a variable white/grey colour. The piece measures 28.4 mm in length, 23.0 mm width, is 6.4 mm thick and weighs 9.02 gr. It was found very close to HAMP-629FA5. The fragment probably dates to the Med…

An openwork lead panel, possibly a grille or ventilator for a window. The panel takes the form of a circular frame with a trefoil openwork cell to the bottom right and left corners. The circle is divided by five vertical columns and a quatrefoil openwork cell in the centre. A further, possible quatrefoil cell, is located to the left and the right of this. The upper quarter is missing. The finder no longer has this item, but thinks that it was two or three inches in width. This might suggest that it is too large to be a pilgrim item, and therefore more likely to be a grille. In 'The…

A fragment of cast lead alloy openwork Medieval tracery, probably dating to c. 14th-15th century AD. The fragment consists of a relatively flat openwork design, with a solid horizontal bar positioned presumably at its upper edge and a sub-triangular open work section below with four remaining vertical columns of varying height joined at the bottom by a triangular segment with a circular knop at its apex. The upper horizontal bar is decorated with repeating raised squares filled with alternating large central pellet in one, followed by pelleted saltires in the next. Below this, the two…

An assemblage of 4 glass window fragments of Roman date. They have a combined total weight of 2.18g. 1) 1 fragment of rectangular pale green window glass of Roman date. The underside is rough, suggesting that it was cast. This fragment measures 14.26mm in length, 12.03mm in width, 1.81mm in thickness, 0.56g in weight. Cast window glass appeared around the middle of the first century. It was probably produced by pouring molten glass into trays resulting in relatively thick panes with a characteristic flat, rough underside, a glossy, slightly undulating upper surface, frequently with…

A fragment of crudely made Medieval lead window vent. Weight 16.22g, surviving length 54.74mm, surviving width 54.07mm, thickness 2.43mm. The fragment shows a foliate motif similar to fleur de lis. Such window vents were in use up until the end of the 16th century and an example of a late vent can be seen at Hampton Court. This fragment could have come from a monastic building. These window vents seem to copy local monastic window tracery styles for their design, and decline in use after the dissolution of the monasteries.
