Description: | A postmedieval to modern iron shoe patten. The patten is oval in plan and has one remaining projection (originally there would be an integral projection at either long end). The projections rises upwards and begins to span outwards at 90 degrees, where it is broken off. This type of patten probably dates from AD 1720 onwards. In some remote and rural areas, pattens were in use until the 20th century.Goodall, I (1973:63) comments that the single and double riveted raised terminals were characteristic of pattens. The "rivets passed through a wooden patten or sole. Shoes were secured by straps to these pattens, which raised the wearers' feet above dirt and mud. Pattens with iron rings were used during and after the 17th century, the earliest known reference is 1625, and the type with the crinkled edge is thought to be superseded by the plain oval hoop by c.1720."
