Description: | An incomplete two-part lead cloth seal. On the remaining sub-circular part is an uppercase letter F in relief, flanked by two fleur de lys. The back of the piece has a flattened oval stud with faint impression of the fabric.The cloth seal is very similar to WILT-64EF71 and also to SOMDOR-EAF476 which is attributed to Taunton, Somerset. The letter F was used from 1474 to indicate a textile with minor faults that were significant enough to have the customer's attention drawn to them in this way (pers. comm. Geoff Egan).
