Description: | A medieval lead pilgrim ampulla. This ampulla has on one side a ??scallop-shell?? (Spencer type II) and on the other a crowned W. This combination of motifs appears to be relatively common on ampullas found in southern England, and similar examples have been found at Milston (Wilts.), Cirencester (Glos.), Portchester (Hants.) and Dunwich (Suffolk) (Spencer 1990, 60). The Thorpe-le-Soken ampulla has a height of 55mm and a width of 29mm. It is likely to date to the period c.1350-c.1530 and may come from the shrine of the Virgin Mary at Walsingham, Norfolk.
