Description: | Two fragments of postmedieval lead alloy window came containing stained glass, probably dating from AD 1500 to AD 1800. The first fragment consists of two cells holding stained glass; one is oval shaped with green glass. Below the oval shape is a roughly diamond-shaped cell holding orange glass. The second fragment is almost identical in form; green glass set in an oval cell and orange glass in a diamond-shaped cell below. However, the dimensions and shape differ slightly, and the lead cames are more squashed due to damage. The lead alloy window came is milled with an H-shaped section typical of postmedieval window cames. The gutter (4mm width) has straight milling lines, there are no visible maker's marks. The glass is thick (c.3mm) and small air bubbles and linear striations can be seen within it.Dimensions:Fragment 1: Overall Length: 90mm; Width of came: 7mm (gutter 4mm); Length of oval 30mm; Width of oval 24mm; width of shield 23mmFragment 2: Length 88mm; width of came 6.5mm (gutter 4mm); width of oval 25mm; width of shield; 25mm.
