Description: | An incomplete Medieval to Post Medieval lead alloy cloth seal, probably dating from the late 14th Century to 17th Century. Half of the front disc and the whole of the back disc survive; these are joined by a bent strip of lead. The seal may be a two disc form as there is no indication of breakage of the connecting strip along the lower edge. The back disc had a central projection on the inner side which fitted through the hole in the centre of the front disc and was stamped flat to hold them together. The seal has been bent and the front is badly damaged. The front has a stamped design which is now mainly illegible. The opposite face has the stamped initial H (left of the loop) and maybe W (next to the loop head). The loop has been bent backwards and lies flush with the back disc. The seal has a creamy light-medium brown patina. Due to the amount of damage, this seal is difficult to date accurately.
