Description: | An apparently complete iron shoe patten of 18th or 19th century date. The missing wooden sole appears to have been c13mm thick. Three iron rivets survive, one on one attachment terminal and two at the other.Goodall I (1973:63) comments that the single- and double-riveted raised terminals were characteristic of pattens. The rivets passed through a wooden 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 The earliest known reference is 1625 and the type with the crinkled edge is thought to be superseded by the plain oval hoop by c.1720." (ibid).
