Description: | MED Ae seal matrix, hexagonally faceted conical handle with triple-collared pierced trefoil terminal, Circular, 22 mm. A shield bearing On a bend three lions passant. * S? IOhIS D?FLETE (Seal of John De Flete, the inscription is interrupted by the corners of the shield). Although these arms are not recorded for Flete, a likely candidate is perhaps John Flete, Abbot of West Dereham in 1398 (Doubleday and Page 1906, 418). It may also be significant that the find-spot for this matrix lies only 7.5km from Langley Abbey, which with West Dereham and Wendling comprise the only Premonstratensian houses in the county. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1066
