Description: | A complete, Medieval-Tudor, forged/wrought, rusty iron Guildhall probable draught horseshoe. The shoe is a fair size, relatively broad with a rounded outer edge and arched inner edge. The point of the arch disappears by the early C16th. The shoe has fairly long branches with the heels inclined together. Calkins are present although on is turned down a little more than the other. There are seven or possibly eight square nail holes. The surface is very corroded/encrusted. The horseshoe is likely to date to 1375-1500. Ref. Old Horsehoes, Shire Album 19, Ivan G. Sparkes, Shire Publishing, page 11-16 and inside cover, no. 4 and Detector Finds 3, Gordon Bailey, Greenlight Publishing 1997, page 40-41. The horseshoe is 121.18mm long, 124.59mm wide, 15.26mm thick and weighs 346g.
