Description: | A complete but worn lead alloy (possibly pewter) token of the late medieval or early post-medieval period. The token appears unifaced, bearing an image of a windmill or mill sails on one face only. The token is large and thick and the lead alloy may be pewter as its appearance is different to other lead tokens commonly found. This would date the token from the second half of the 15th century when pewter tokens were manufactured. The appearance of mill sails is not rare but these are not particularly common pieces; it is likely that the depiction of a mill or mill sails related to grinding and possibly flour production. Powell Type 22.
