Description: | A copper alloy spherical bell fragment dating from the post medieval period. Only the top half of the bell survives. It is 30.5mm in diameter and 22.8mm tall. It has a rectangular suspension loop with a circular hole through it. The bell is broken before the median rib. It is decorated with four shields which all appear to be the same. They are divided vertically in half and have three diagonal lines running from top left to bottom right on the right half, and a less clear design in the left half which may be a rampant animal. The shields are not evenly spaced and have an oval mark round them which have the appearance of the mark made by pressing a seal matrix too deeply into wax. The bell probably dates from the sixteenth century (Geake 2001).
