Description: | A Late-medieval to Post-Medieval sheet copper alloy clapper bell. It has an integral circular suspension loop at one terminal, formed by pinching together the top of the copper alloy sheet. The sheet metal has been rolled to form a long, narrow triangular-shaped body, with the unsoldered seam visible to one side. The lower terminal of the bell has been trimmed with one segment folded inwards and the rest missing due to old breaks. These would have formed the sound holes at the base of the bell. The clapper is missing. The bell measures 35.11mm in length, 12.94mm in width, and weighs 3.35g.Clapper bells of this type are illustrated in Bailey 1995,p.36, no.1, and a fifteenth or sixteenth-century date is suggested.
