Description: | Circular lead seal matrix, 31 mm in diameter and flat with an unpierced lug on the reverse at the top. A relief fleur-de-lis springs from this lug. The central motif is a crescent, perhaps representing the moon, around a central dot. The central area has some damage to one side as well, so there may have been a further element (a star?) to the motif. Around is a well-engraved but now rather damaged legend between engraved lines, reading + [S] WILL'I WIT - AM. (the final two letters are hard to read definitively). This translates as Seal of William ?Witham.
