Description: | Barb-spring padlock of Winchester Type C, with copper-alloy case and iron spring and barbs surviving. The case is hexagonal in section, with the three lower facets decorated with a wavy rouletted line of back-to-back triangles. At one end is a T-shaped keyhole, and above this is the wide flat vertical part and circular-section horizontal part (now slightly bent) of the L-shaped hasp. At the base of the hasp is a hole drilled through the case. At the other end of the case, the spring hole is blocked with iron corrosion from the iron spring and barbs; the rectangular section of the spring can be seen. The bolt, which would have closed the loop with the hasp, is missing. At Winchester this style of padlock dates from the 12th to the 16th centuries.
