Description: | A copper-alloy clapper bell, most likely to be medieval or post medieval in date. The bell measures 45.2mm in height and has a rim diameter of 45.1mm. It has an integral rectangular suspension loop with a circular hole through it, the top of the bell beneath the suspension loop, is flat. The outer face of the bell is decorated with one transverse goove around the top of the bell and another four grooves around the rim of the bell. There is no clapper within the bell but a tiny trace of iron can be seen, this may be all that survives of an iron clapper. The copper-alloy of this bell is silvery and shiny probably due to a high tin content. Patches of active corrosion and concreations of corrosive products can be seen on all surfaces.
