Description: | A copper alloy spherical bell dating to the later Medieval or early Post Medieval periods. The bell comprises a tapering rectangular stem terminating in a worn and broken attachment loop. The stem expands to a sheet metal oval bell casing consisting of four trapezoidal sheets bent inwards. Inside this casing is a loose, irregularly shaped stone which would have acted as the clapper, The bell measures 27mm in length. The bell casing has a diameter of 11mm. A similar bell (No. 467) is illustrated in B. Read's 'Metal Artefacts of Antiquity', p. 58.
