An <strong>Historic</strong> <strong>Environment</strong> <strong>Record</strong> <strong>Search</strong> for Land at Midland<br />
Electric Depot, Evesham<br />
Introduction<br />
The <strong>Historic</strong> <strong>Environment</strong> <strong>Record</strong> for Worcestershire is held in a GIS (Geographical Information<br />
System). This is a computer system designed to allow users to collect, manage and analyse large<br />
volumes of spatially referenced information and associated attribute data. When you request<br />
information from us on a particular area, we carry out a spatial search on a grid reference (or a<br />
specific area) supplied by you, which will bring up all the records within that area. Unless<br />
otherwise requested, the search radius will be restricted to everything within 500m of the centre<br />
point of the proposed investigation (or a 250m buffer along pipelines).<br />
If you are conducting research it must be remembered that the results of an HER search are<br />
designed to be a starting point, not a complete record. The sources mentioned in the full reports<br />
should be consulted in order to fully understand the nature of the archaeology in your search<br />
area. We strongly recommend that you come to visit the HER once you have received your search<br />
results to consult all the sources mentioned along with other more general information that we<br />
hold. The majority of the grey literature reports can now be accessed online at<br />
www.worcestershire.gov.uk/archaeology/library, other sources may need to be consulted at the<br />
HER offices.<br />
If your site is within, or close to, one of the ‘Central Marches <strong>Historic</strong> Towns’, you should consult<br />
the CMHTS report for that town. These can be found at<br />
www.worcestershire.gov.uk/archaeology/library and relate to the following towns: Alvechurch,<br />
Bewdley & Wribbenhall, Broadway, Bromsgrove, Clifton-Upon-Teme, Droitwich, Evesham &<br />
Bengeworth, Kidderminster, Pershore, Redditch, Stourport-on-Severn, Tenbury Wells and Upton-<br />
Upon-Severn.<br />
If your search area includes a <strong>Historic</strong> Farmstead or Outfarm, as identified by English Heritage's<br />
'<strong>Historic</strong> Farmsteads Project', you should consult the current project publications, including the<br />
County summary, online at http://www.englishheritage.org.uk/professional/research/landscapes-and-areas/characterisation/West-Midlands-<br />
Farmsteads-Landscapes-Project.<br />
If the search has been requested prior to development, you may need to consult the <strong>Historic</strong><br />
<strong>Environment</strong> Planning Officer (HEPO) to see how your proposal would affect the archaeology.<br />
When you request a search as part of the planning process, a copy is also sent to the HEPO (in<br />
confidence) so that he/she can determine the level and type of archaeological mitigation<br />
required, if any. If any aspect of the development changes after this point, particularly alterations<br />
to groundworks on pipeline schemes, then the HEPO MUST be informed.<br />
The HER search results will remain valid for 3 months only from the date of production, because<br />
the HER is constantly being updated as new sites of archaeological importance are identified. It<br />
should also be noted that searches are tailored to suit the needs of the client and if these needs<br />
change significantly, you may need to contact us again. Another important point to note is that an<br />
absence of archaeological sites in a particular area should not necessarily be interpreted as an<br />
absence of archaeology. It may be that surviving archaeology has not been identified in the HER<br />
for a number of reasons. If it is thought likely that archaeology could exist in such an area, then<br />
the HER team or the HEPO will inform you of this.<br />
Guidelines for Access<br />
The HER was set up as a planning tool 30 years ago and contained the minimum level of data.<br />
Since then the records have been added to and enhanced over the years as more information has<br />
come to light. The records, therefore, vary greatly in their detail and accuracy. We are constantly<br />
2
updating and improving these records, however, they are compiled from a range of sources of<br />
varying quality and the information they contain should not be seen as definitive. We cannot<br />
accept responsibility for the accuracy of any information supplied and the user must accept that<br />
information may be outdated or inaccurate.<br />
We ask that all users provide us with any new information that they obtain during the course of<br />
their research. Where further archaeological work is required as part of the planning process, we<br />
ask that the contractor/developer provide us with a digital copy and one hard copy of the<br />
resulting report within six months of its completion. Briefs written by the HEPO after 01/10/2007<br />
now require a digital copy to be submitted to the HER. Our preferred format for digital copies is<br />
pdf, however, we are happy to take other formats, from which we will create pdfs. All reports<br />
submitted as part of the development control process will<br />
3<br />
be included on our Online<br />
Archaeology Library 3 months after submission unless the report is deemed to be archaeologically<br />
or commercially sensitive by the Archive and Archaeology Service Manager.<br />
We will provide details of Scheduled Ancient Monuments, along with maps showing their<br />
locations. The boundaries shown on our maps are intended to be a guide only and the precise<br />
location of any SAM must be obtained from English Heritage. It should also be noted that work<br />
cannot be carried out within the boundary of a Scheduled Ancient Monument without consent<br />
from English Heritage. This includes non-intrusive work such as geophysical surveys and field<br />
walking.<br />
When information is provided in advance of metal detecting, the detectorist must agree to report<br />
detailed information for all finds, including an eight or ten figure grid reference, to the Portable<br />
Antiquities Scheme (via Angie Bolton, Finds Liaison Officer for Worcestershire and Warwickshire<br />
on 01905 721130 or abolton@worcester.gov.uk)<br />
Copyright<br />
The sources referenced in the HER records may require permission from the copyright holder for<br />

onus is on you to obtain permission for reproduction from the relevant person(s). The HER<br />
accepts no responsibility for any user making unauthorized copies of such documents. In some<br />
instances the HER has been granted permission by the copyright holder to give out a copy of a<br />
source for reference only. In these instances, you must not copy, pass on or publish that source<br />
without permission from the copyright holder.<br />
If Ordnance Survey maps are included in this report, then they are for reference only and require<br />

Planning Policy<br />
National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was published in 2012. It sets out the Government's<br />
planning policies, including those on the conservation of the historic environment. It replaces<br />
Planning Policy Statement 5: Planning for the <strong>Historic</strong> <strong>Environment</strong> (PPS5), which was published in<br />
2010.<br />
If your search is in advance of a planning application, you may be required to describe the<br />
significance of any heritage assets affected, including the contribution made by their setting, in<br />
accordance Paragraph 128 of NPPF and the Local Authority's Local Plan. The Archaeological<br />
Summary below and the sources mentioned in the HER records should be taken into<br />
consideration when detailing the significance of the heritage assets. The Archaeological Summary<br />
does not consider the effects of any specific development on the historic environment, it lays out<br />
the archaeological survival, significance and potential. The statement submitted with a planning<br />
application would also need to consider the effects of your proposed development on the<br />
historic environment.
The HER data<br />
This document contains two types of report:<br />
1) The Single Line or Short Report – this provides the basic information: the WSM Number, the<br />
Name/Title of the <strong>Record</strong>, the monument type, the date range and finally the National Grid<br />
Reference (the WSM number is the unique number given to each record within the HER).<br />
2) The Full Report – this provides the above information plus a more detailed description of<br />
the monument/site/find/fieldwork etc. It also contains the sources and references that<br />
the record is based upon and gives its relationship (if any) to other associated sites. A ‘full’<br />
report is not definitive and all sources mentioned should be consulted to gain a full<br />
understanding of the record.<br />
This report also contains the location of the records on maps (unless you have requested GIS data<br />
in a shape file, which will be sent in an email with this report). Where appropriate/requested we<br />
will also include historical maps.<br />
1) GIS Shape Files<br />
We can provide site location data as shape files for use with your own GIS system. This is the<br />
best way of sending and receiving complex spatial information. We send this out by email.<br />
In built up areas where there are a large number of records, the data will be sent out in several<br />
files. We will provide site location data as individually themed shape files for each type of<br />
record. This will allow you to switch on each HER archaeological theme independently and is<br />
most appropriate for use by our customers whose projects are located in areas of intense<br />
archaeological activity, where there is more likely to be a need to discreetly interrogate the<br />
data and examine spatial relationships.<br />
2) pdf Maps<br />
If you do not have a GIS, location maps will be included in this report. The clarity of these<br />
maps is not perfect, but they are clear enough to distinguish all the site locations - especially if<br />
you zoom in.<br />
The maps will show the location of all the sites in the report, labelled with the WSM number.<br />
Please note: The labels only give the approximate location of the sites and monuments. The<br />
reason for this is that if there is more than one record for a location or there are lots of sites<br />
in close proximity – i.e. on a street of historic houses – then the labels overlie each other and<br />
cannot be read. We, therefore, move or adjust the labels very slightly to make them easier to<br />
see. To get the precise location you must use the grid reference.<br />
The HER is set up with a number of themes or layers. Each theme contains a different type of<br />
record e.g. <strong>Historic</strong> Buildings or Excavations. This allows us to switch the various themes on<br />
and off to look at different types of record separately. The various themes are colour coded<br />
to make them easily identifiable (see the key on the maps).<br />
3) <strong>Historic</strong> Maps<br />
We can also supply copies of Landmark Digital mapping based on 1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th Edition<br />
Ordnance Survey maps. These are drawn from several maps and are referred to as Epochs not<br />
Editions. It is important to note that Copyright restrictions mean that they must not be used<br />
in any report and are for research purposes only. If you have requested these they will be<br />
included below.<br />

Archaeological Summary for Land at Midland Electricity Depot<br />
Evesham.<br />
An HER search was carried out on a 500m radius of grid reference 403591, 244762 on the 28 June 2012.<br />
The search area contains 26 HER records including 9 monuments and 7 buildings, three of which were<br />
listed buildings. There were two archaeological events and five parish records. The recently completed<br />
historic farmstead project identified a single out farm within the vicinity.<br />
Summary: Evesham lies in a meander of the River Avon and the underlying geology consists of sand<br />
and gravel terraces on either side of the river with clayey alluvial soils above. The areas outside of the<br />
town are intensively farmed and associated with fertile, free draining soils which give rise to high<br />
quality agricultural land used for growing a wide variety of crop.<br />
The town of Evesham grew up around the Minster, which was established circa 700, possibly on the<br />
site of an old church based on writings in the early 12th century. There is no historical evidence of the<br />
settlement prior to this date. Evesham is a planned medieval town and evidence of this still survives in<br />
the historic core. The town has expanded over the last century and much of the landscape is<br />
characterised by 20th century semi-detached housing.<br />
The historic core of Evesham contains buried archaeological deposits, and these are judged to have<br />
high potential. In addition there is high potential for the recovery of artefact and ecofact assemblages.<br />
The historic and Listed buildings constitute a coherent body of evidence, but are not numerous for<br />
early periods, and are judged to have moderate potential for detailed study and recording. The<br />
surviving documentary sources are moderate in quantity for the medieval period, but are numerous<br />
for the later post-medieval period.<br />
Outside of the residential suburbs the landscape is characterised by small nucleated settlements,<br />
linked by a network of medieval or earlier roads. These are set in a landscape derived from vast<br />
expanses of former open fields, which have remained under intensive cultivation following their<br />
enclosure. Market gardening and orchards are strong features of this area, particularly close to the<br />
villages. This zone is characterised by the abundance of crop marks relating to prehistoric and<br />
Romano-British settlement, a number of which are Scheduled Monuments. The crop marks show<br />
evidence of a former prehistoric landscape of isolated farmsteads and small hamlets, settled within a<br />
network of track ways and small enclosed fields.<br />
Statutory and other Designations<br />
Scheduled Ancient Monuments<br />
Scheduled monuments are those considered to be monuments of national importance. The<br />
Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979, supports a formal system of Scheduled<br />
Monument Consent (SMC) for any work to a designated monument. Any works within a<br />
Scheduled area will require SMC, this includes non-invasive techniques such as geophysics or fieldwalking.<br />
There are no Scheduled areas within the search area.*<br />
Listed Buildings<br />
The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport holds a List of Buildings of Special<br />
Architectural or <strong>Historic</strong> Interest, considered to be of national importance. Compiled under the<br />
Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the List includes structures from<br />
boundary walls and telephone boxes to cathedrals. Listing gives statutory protection and<br />
restrictions apply. Consent may be required for works to, or that affect the setting of, a Listed<br />
Building and the LPA conservation officer should be consulted if in doubt. There are 3 Listed<br />
Buildings within the search area, none of which are inside the development area.*<br />
Conservation Areas<br />
A Conservation Area is an area considered worthy of preservation or enhancement because of its<br />
special architectural or historic interest, "the character or appearance of which it is desirable to<br />
5
preserve or enhance," as required by the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act<br />
1990 (Section 69 and 70). There are additional planning controls over certain works carried out<br />
within the Conservation Area. The designation does not preclude development from taking place,<br />
but does require that developments preserve or enhance the historic character of the area, for<br />
example by ensuring that newly constructed buildings are of a high quality design. Conservation<br />
Area status also removes some permitted development rights that apply in undesignated areas.<br />
There is one Conservation Areas within the search area, covering the historic core of Evesham.*<br />
Registered Parks and Gardens<br />
English Heritage holds a Register of <strong>Historic</strong> Parks and Gardens of Special <strong>Historic</strong> Interest. These<br />
Registered landscapes are graded I, II* or II, and include private gardens, public parks and other<br />
green spaces. They are valued for their design, diversity and historical importance. Inclusion on the<br />
Register brings no additional statutory controls, but there is a presumption in favour of<br />
conservation of the designated site. Local authorities are required to consult English Heritage on<br />
applications affecting sites Registered as grade I or II* and the Garden History Society on sites of<br />
all grades. There are no Registered Parks within the search area.*<br />
Registered Battlefields<br />
There are two Registered Battlefields in Worcestershire, The Battle of Evesham and The Battle of<br />
Worcester. Unlike Listed Buildings and the Register of Parks and Gardens, Registered Battlefields<br />
are not currently graded as a means of ascribing relative significance. They do not carry any<br />
statutory designation, but there is a presumption in favour of preservation. There is one<br />
Registered Battlefields within the search area. The site of the Battle of Evesham.*<br />
Locally Listed <strong>Historic</strong> Buildings<br />
Worcester City, Redditch Borough and Wyre Forest <strong>District</strong> have a Schedule of Buildings of Local<br />
Interest in Worcestershire. These are buildings that are not of national importance, and therefore<br />
not Listed, but are considered to be of local or regional importance and make a significant<br />
contribution to the historic environment character of an area. They do not carry any statutory<br />
designation, but local policies make it clear that retention of these structures is important to the<br />
historic environment. There are no locally listed buildings within the search area.<br />
* Heritage Assets are designated by English Heritage. It is possible that the HER is out of date. EH<br />
(or the LPA as appropriate) should be consulted for confirmation of designated status.<br />
NB. Other statutory designations may apply to your site, such as SSSI status. The HER does not<br />
keep a record of such designations and the onus is on the client to ascertain whether any further<br />
restrictions might apply.<br />

Description<br />
Probable line of the Civil War defensive ditch. The majority of this line is conjectural.[1]<br />
In much later times Evesham was occupied as a royal garrison during the civil wars, but was stormed and taken from the<br />
royalists by Col Massey on 26.5.1645.[2]<br />
Earthworks totally destroyed and the uncertain but suggested alignment was assumed to run along Inches Lane. [3]<br />
The ditch was found in February 2003 crossing Swan Lane. The ditch has been excavated at Swan Lane prior to<br />
development and found to be 1.65m deep from the current ground surface and V-shaped. [4]<br />

Description<br />
4.8.1265: Simon de Montfort killed in battle near Evesham (with 7500 troops)... fighting against Edward, son of Henry III.<br />
According to Evesham monks the year after the battle a spring of water was found on the site of the battle by Piers de<br />
Saltmarsh. Earl Simon's Well soon attracted pilgrims etc etc. At some time before 1346 and probably before 1297 a small<br />
chapel was built over the remains of some of the dead Montfortian leaders... by 1502 called Chapel of the Battle Well.[1]<br />
King Henry II in his efforts to subdue the reforms springing from the Provisions of Oxford of 1258, provoked a baronial faction<br />
led by Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, to the extent that civil war was only a matter of time. The Battle of Lewes (1264)<br />
had ended with negotiation which gave Simon and the Barons increasing power, but the deciding factor in the struggle<br />
between reform and absolute monarchy had to wait until the Battle of Evesham in August 1265.<br />
On 4 August, Simon de Montfort's army of 6,000 men was trapped in Evesham by a Royal army of 8,000 under Prince<br />
Edward (the future Edward I) and the Earl of Gloucester. Simon had no choice but to fight his way out. He deployed his army<br />
as a single column and charged at the junction between Edward's and Gloucester's troops on Green Hill. It was a desperate<br />
tactic which might have succeeded had not the cavalry wings of the Royal army swung in on de Montfort's flanks. Although<br />
the Baronial army continued to resist for some hours, the battle became a progressively bloody massacre. Both Simon and<br />
his son Henry were killed, along with some 4,000 of his soldiers.<br />
Their field army had been destroyed, but nonetheless the surviving Barons still held their castles and the war against the King<br />
dragged on until 1267. Complete reconciliation came only in 1275, when the best elements of the Provisions of Oxford were<br />
encapsulated in the Statute of Westminster. Through the actions of de Montfort and the Barons, the die was cast for the role<br />
of Parliament as adviser to the monarch, a tradition which can be traced through to present times.[2]<br />

Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway Building<br />
Monument Types and Dates<br />
RAILWAY (19TH CENTURY AD to 21ST CENTURY AD - 1854 AD to 2050 AD)<br />
Evidence DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE<br />
Evidence EXTANT BUILDING<br />
Description<br />
Between 1845 when the Oxford Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway was sanctioned by parliament to build the line, and<br />
1854 when it was completed, the company were bedevilled by a chronic lack of working capital and the battle over the<br />
gauges. Most railways were built to a gauge of 1.453 metres but the Great Western Railway was built to the broad gauge<br />
standard of 2.134 metres. In 1844 a branch from Didcot ended at a temporary station at Oxford just south of the present<br />
station. It was intended as the first stage of a broad-gauge expansion into the Midlands and a starting point to<br />
Wolverhampton via Worcester. Worcester though, had begun to feel the benefits of rail travel when the Birmingham and<br />
Gloucester Railway provided a station at Spetchley some four miles east of the town in 1840. Every train was met by a<br />
coach. The Act for the broad-gauge Oxford Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway was passed on 24/06/1845 and it was<br />
chosen in preference to the proposed standard-gauge London and Birmingham line to Worcester and Wolverhampton. By<br />
1847 construction had started but working captal was always in short supply and men were laid off. There followed years of<br />
political intrigue and threats of litigation but in 1850 the first section of the line opened when the Midland Railway, who were<br />
keen to serve Worcester, opened a standard-gauge link between Abbotswood Junction and Worcester (Shrub Hill). Services<br />
began on 05/10/1850. On 18/02/1852 the line between Worcester (Shrub Hill) and Droitwich opened with new stations at<br />
Fernhill Heath, Droitwich and Stoke Works. Between Norton Junction and Eesham the line was now double-track. Trains<br />
were operated by the Midland Railway. On 04/06/1853 the line between Oxford and Evesham opened and in the same year<br />
running powers were granted to the GWR. On 18/03/1854 the line between Evesham and Honeybourne was closed as,<br />
contrary to the terms of the Act, it had been built to standard gauge. It re-opened on 20/03/1855 after a broad-gauge rail had<br />
been laid and the line doubled as far as Campden. On 14/06/1860 the Oxford Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway<br />
amalgamated with the Worcester and Hereford, and the Newport, Abergavenny and Hereford Railways to form the West<br />
Midland Railway with effect from 01/07/1860. Through services from Wolverhampton to Paddington via Worcester<br />
commenced on 01/10/1861. On 01/08/1863 the West Midlands Railway was absorbed by the GWR. [1]<br />
The first stretch to open was in 1850 and it ran from a temporary terminus in Worcester to Abbotswood Junction The line<br />
between Worcester and Evesham opened in 1852 and from Evesham to Wolvercote Junction (Oxford) in 1853. The line from<br />
Worcester to Droitwich Spa and the spur to Stoke Works opened in 1852, Droitwich to Stourbridge also opened a few months<br />
later in the same year. [2]<br />

Description<br />
Midland Railway Line from Ashchurch to Evesham<br />
One of the disadvantages of the Midland Railway main line between Birmingham and Gloucester was that it bypassed the<br />
important fruit and vegetable growing areas in the Vale of Evesham. On 1858/07/23 parliament agreed to plans for a singletrack<br />
branch line from the Birmingham and Gloucester line at Barnt Green to Redditch and the first trains reached Redditch<br />
on 1859/09/19.<br />
In June 1861 the Midland Railway was authorised to construct a branch line from Ashchurch to Evesham (the Oxford,<br />
Worcester and Wolverhampton company had already opened a station at Evesham in 1852). The Midland line was<br />
completed on 1864/10/01 with the Midland Railway station built adjacent to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton<br />
station and it shared the same approach road. The remainder of the loop between Evesham and Redditch was authorised on<br />
1863/07/13. The section from Evesham to Alcester was opened to passengers on 1866/09/17 but the final section between<br />
Alcester and Redditch was held up due to the difficulty of constructing a tunnel, just south of Redditch, with deep cuttings at<br />
each end. This section finally opened on 1868/05/04 when the original station at Redditch was closed and a new station<br />
opened nearer the town centre. Between Evesham and Redditch the line was single-track with passing loops, whereas from<br />
Evesham to Ashchurch the track was double throughout. The line between Redditch and Evesham was closed from October<br />
1962 and the line between Evesham and Ashchurch closed on 1963/06/17 [Essery].<br />
The mapping has been based on the third edition map interpreted by possible existing landscape features noted opn the<br />
modern Mastermap [1].<br />

Description<br />
WAW-739F07. Roman Coin: it is either an as or a dupondius. Both of these dominations were in use from 23 BC to 260 AD.<br />
The style of the bust may suggest a 1st century date for this coin. It is very worn, therefore the legends are not visible [1].<br />
WAW-89BDE3. A cast lead or lead alloy button. The button head is sub-circular in plan, the front is domed and the back flat.<br />
The back has a central integral loop, which is not sited on a stem terminal. The front of the head is decorated with a high-relief<br />
cross pattee with a central pellet, and the arms of the cross having transverse ridges. The surface has a matt beige coloured<br />
patina. The diameter of the head is 11.55mm diameter and 15.68mm long from the apex of the loop to the furthest edge of the<br />
head. It weighs 3.3g. Egan and Pritchard (Egan and Pritchard 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) illustrate similar<br />
buttons, particularly, No. 1381 which is decorated and described as cast from a three-part mould. These buttons date to early<br />
13th to 14th century [2].<br />
WAW-969902. A Post Medieval cast lead or lead alloy cloth seal. It is composed of two sub-circular discs linked with an<br />
integral ribbon. The ribbon is folded in half, thereby the two discs lay over each other with the stud passing through the<br />
perforation in the second disc. Both discs have then been flattened and stamped with ‘?f // W’ on one face and ‘L 8’ on the<br />
other. The ‘f’ shaped figure may be a privy mark which identifies an artisan dyer (Egan G. 1992 Leaden cloth Seals Datasheet<br />
3 Finds Research Group 700-1700 p. 4). The surface of the seal has oxidised forming a mottled cream/grey colour. It<br />
measures 24.79mm long, 18.11mm wide and 4.15mm thick. It weighs 7.7g. Cloth seals were in use between the 14th and<br />
18th centuries (Egan, G. 1989 ‘Leaden Seals for Textiles – Some Archaeological Evidence Relating to Fabric and Trade’<br />
Costume No. 23) as a form of quality control. The seal probably dates to the 16th to 17th centuries [3].<br />
WAW-A9F8D5. Medieval Coin: halfpenny of Edward I, II or III [4].<br />
WAW-AE3AA5. A Post Medieval cast lead or lead alloy cloth seal. It is composed of a large sub-circular discs with a possible<br />
smaller second disc on the reverse. It is unclear how they are connected as there is no integral ribbon. The face of the large<br />
disc has a central ornate shield with a ‘+’ at the apex and an unclear design below. Around the edge there is a legend starting<br />
with a crescent and then possibly reading ‘RAE[ ]S[ ]’. The smaller disc on the reverse has ‘20’ slightly off the flan.<br />
The field around the smaller disc, on the reverse of the larger disc has a coating of feint pellets. The surface of the seal has<br />
oxidised forming a cream colour. It measures 27.82mm long, 26.72mm wide and 4.18mm thick. It weighs 8.9g. Cloth seals<br />
were in use between the 14th and 18th centuries (Egan, G. 1989 ‘Leaden Seals for Textiles – Some Archaeological Evidence<br />
Relating to Fabric and Trade’ Costume No. 23) as a form of quality control. Larger seals were used in the 17th to 18th<br />
century, for example from Colchester (Egan G. 1992 Leaden cloth Seals Datasheet 3 Finds Research Group 700-1700,<br />
Figure 11a-c) [5].<br />
WAW-AED541. The portion of the buckle which remains is the apex of the loop and some of the sides. Egan and Pritchard<br />
illustrates similar frame(No. 421), but this is not decorated with a face. The face is possibly that of a man with a beard, but<br />
otheriwse there is no headwear or clothing visible. The London example is dated to the 14th century. It is made from cast<br />
copper alloy. The loop which protrudes from either side of the neck is triangular in section. Each terminal of the loop is<br />
broken, but not recently. The reverse of the frame is flat and flush with the protruding head. The object has a dark green<br />
shiny patina. It measures 21.6mm long, 19mm wide and weighs 1.88g [6].<br />
WAW-AFDF12. A sub-circular cast copper alloy ring or loop, with a slender sub-pointed oval section. In profile the loop is<br />
slightly twisted. The loop has an abraded surface with traces of a mid green patina. It measures 26.13mm long, 24.24mm<br />
wide and 1.6mm thick. It weighs 1.5g. Similar rings are illustrated in Margeson’s, (1993) Norwich Households; Medieval<br />

and Post Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78. East Anglian Archaeology Report No. 58. Margeson<br />
describes them as being suspension rings which were probably multi-functional, including curtain rings. The three excavated<br />
from Norwich (No. 522-524) date from the mid 15th to mid 17th century. However the recorded example is possibly not as<br />
robust as these, and another function is likely [7].<br />
WAW-C6DA15. Strap Fitting. The object is probably a type of strap guide. It has three integral components, an upper small<br />
loop, a connecting block and a lower large loop. The upper small loop is rectangular in plan, with the two upper corners being<br />
rounded. The hole in the centre is circular and is 3.93mm wide. The edge of this hole has a small casting sprue, which may<br />
suggest the object has not been used particularly often. Below the hole, on the outer and side faces there is a horizontal<br />
ridge. The second component, the integral connecting block has moulded decoration. Firstly a narrowed rectangular<br />
sectioned block which is seated above a sub-square shaped block which has concave outer and side faces. This portion is<br />
seated above the third component of the object, the large loop. The loop is perpendicular to the small upper loop. In profile<br />
the loop is an elongated drop shape with a horizontal tip. The outer face of the loop, along the edges, has three scallops on<br />
either side as decoration, forming three joined sub-oval shapes. Each oval is decorated with incised decoration consisting of a<br />
‘X’ within a border which matches the shape of the oval. The reverse face of the loop, connecting black and small upper loop<br />
are flat, undecorated and flush with each other. There are obliquely angled file marks on the reverse. The surface of the<br />
object has a well developed mid grey patina. It measures 45.37mm long, 7.27mm wide and 9.21mm thick. The object weighs<br />
6.81g. The object is likely to be a type of strap guide, either from a harness or a dress fitting. The date is more uncertain, but<br />
may be Medieval rather than Roman. This is suggested by the style of the incised decoration, the scalloped edges and the<br />
loop. However, Roman implements, such as toilet instruments have similar small upper loops and connecting integral blocks<br />
[8].<br />
WAW-C6EE11. Post Medieval coin: an Irish farthing of Charles II, issued by Armstrong between 1660 and 1661 [9].<br />
WAW-F76B32. A possible fragment a pro forma cast lead cloth seal. The seal is a sub-rectangle in plan with one terminal<br />
being abraded and therefore incomplete. In profile the pro forma is tubular and has then been flattened, which is probably<br />
intentional. The reverse plate is more incomplete than the upper plate. The upper plate has lettering in high-relief reading<br />
‘XXXIIII’ within a rectangular beaded border. The reverse is has a possible high-relief design which is very feint and may<br />
include a ‘J’. The surface of the pro forma has a matte off-white coloured patina. It measures 26.39mm long, 17.69mm wide<br />
and 2.13mm thick, weighing 4.7g. Dr. Geoff Egan (Portable Antiquities Scheme Finds Advisor) comments on a previous<br />
pro forma (WAW-79D3C6) found in Worcestershire that pro formas were cast with the dimensions ,as required by law, of a<br />
particular variety of cloth. 34 is may be the length in yards of the fabric or its weight. When examining the cloth government<br />
officials measured and weighed the cloth and checked it conformed to specifications. ‘<strong>Search</strong>ed’ was stamped in the blank<br />
area below the figures, and then the seal was closed and fixed to the textile so it could be seen on the market stall. Egan goes<br />
on to comment that the seal dates from the transitional Medieval to Post Medieval period of the late 16th century to c1620,<br />
and this is probably the second to be discovered in Worcestershire. Other examples are illustrated in Egan, G. 1995 Lead<br />
Cloth Seals and Related Items in the British Museum British Museum Occasional Paper 93, Nos. 117 to 119 [10].<br />
WAW-F794D6. A cast copper alloy pendant or mount which is possibly Early Medieval. The pendant or mount is an inverted<br />
sub-drop shape in the shape of a human face. From the back of the upper edge is there is an integral lug with a circular<br />
perforation at the apex of the loop. The perforation is slightly sub-circular, possibly due to wear along the upper edge,<br />
therefore suggesting it is a pendant rather than a mount. The pendant is domed in profile with a slightly hollow reverse. The<br />
head has straight hair depicted by slightly oblique linear grooves. The eyes have a central pellet within a oval frame. The nose<br />
is a high-relief sub-rectangle with slightly concave sides and rounded edges. Either the mouth or the moustache is depicted<br />
as a transverse ridge. The lower edge of the pendant becomes narrow in profile until it is broken. This break is not too recent.<br />
The surface of the mount has a mottled green/brown patina which is slightly abraded. It measures 30.89mm long, 13.81mm<br />
wide and 6.99mm thick. It weighs 7.4g. The face is similar in style to that found on other Early Medieval objects, such as a<br />
similar object recorded from Surry (SUR-350D51), or the 9th century lead vat recorded from Northamptonshire (WAW-<br />
A4D8D4). The function of the object is not certain [11].<br />
WMID1159. An iron nail-like object. The head is sub-circular and slightly domed. The head has been slightly damaged and<br />
an edge has become straight. On the reverse there is a single stud in the centre which has a rectangular section and tapers<br />
to a point [12].<br />
WMID1160. Fragment of a stoneware which has a salt-glaze. There is a high relief female bust within a circular border. The<br />
bust is wearing a cloth hat. The dress which is visible has a high lace neck, and a square collar. The fragment is slightly<br />
concave [13].<br />
WMID1333. The arrowhead appears to be incomplete. There has been damage to one edge and the tip of the arrowhead,<br />
therefore the arrowhead would have been originally longer and triangular in shape [14].<br />
WMID1832. The tile is slightly curved in profile. The item is only a fragment therefore the complete profile is not visible. At the<br />
apex of the curve there is a finial which is a leaning conical. There are traces of glaze on the upper surface of the tile. The<br />
fabric is a light orange/brown colour with sandy inclusions [15].<br />

WMID1837. Single loop trapezoidal shaped buckle. The notched edge of the loop is expanded. The three other edges are<br />
the same widths and depth. Decoration consists of oblique notches on the edges of the buckle, with the expanded loop have<br />
two incised parallel lines forming an internal border. The reverse has four oblique notches on the expanded loop and traces of<br />
tinning. On the strap bar there is a trace of iron corrosion suggesting there was an iron pin [16].<br />
WMID2263. Harness Pendant. The body of the pendant is a small quatrefoil which has a high relief square shape in the<br />
centre. Protruding from the upper petal is a lug perpendicular to the pendant. This lug has a small hole within which there are<br />
traces of iron. The lug is bent forwards slightly. The reverse is plain [17].<br />
WMID4636. Dress Hook. The body of the dress hook is sub-circular with a rectangular loop protruding from the upper edge.<br />
Decoration of the body of the object consists of a border of annulets around a central larger annulet. Protruding from the lower<br />
edge is a hook which is semi-circular in cross-section and 'U' shaped in profile. The reverse is undecorated [18].<br />
WMID5223. The fabric of the sherd which remains is a grey colour with an ornage exterior surface. The exterior surface is<br />
covered with a mid green coloured glaze. The vessel had been mended by lead. There appears to have been two holes in the<br />
vessel thereby the lead forms a loop around the sherd. The exteror surface of the lead is an irregular shape and appears to<br />
have been shaped by a two fingers because fingerprints are visible. On the interior of the vessel the lead is a relatively narrow<br />
band [19].<br />
WMID588. Dress Hook. Triangular shape with a rivet hole in each top corner. The lower third corner has a possible worn<br />
zoomorphic head that leads to a hook. The border of the tag has an incised border groove which has perpendicular lines from<br />
the incised line to the edge [20].<br />
WMID607. Circular cloth seal. Obverse has [ ] LEMS GO [ ] around the edge with a sword in the centre. The reverse has<br />
stars and lozenges around the edge and 2[ ] in the centre. The seal is two circular discs joined by a narrow band. The centre<br />
of the reverse appears to have been cut into a separate circular disc. Could this have been caused by the die? [21].<br />
WMID6091. Medieval Silver Coin [22].<br />
WMID628. Brooch. Only the upper plate remains. The plate is sub-trapezoidal in shape, with a knop on three sides of the<br />
plate. There is an elongated trapezoidal platform in the centre of the plate. From this platform an arched strip of copper alloy<br />
forms which has a broken edge, but which would have formed the upright of the brooch. On the reverse is a vertical<br />
protruding plate which is incomplete [23].<br />
WMID660. Buckle. Narrowed and offset strap bar. Diagonal lines on the upper face as decoration. Part of the pin remains<br />
curled around the strap bar [24].<br />
WMID661. Appears to be a rams head and neck. Ornate style. The reverse is straight and a flange it 90º runs across the<br />
upper edge. Something has broken off the base of the item. Possibly a mount? [25].<br />
WMID674. Strap Fitting. The lower plate is sub-circular with four rivets in each corner. The upper plate is also sub-circular,<br />
however there is an oval shaped openwork at one end, leaving a small gap on the edge. On the upper plate there is incised<br />
decoration which appears to be two leaves creating a 'V' with a fleur-de-lis at the centre base. At this base there is a further<br />
rectangular shape which the lower plate lacks. This rectangular shape is moulded with two rows of four circular indentations.<br />
Two outer indentations are openwork, but maybe too small for rivets. Between the lower and upper plate there are traces of<br />
leather [26].<br />
WMID675. Seal Matrix. Oval base. Hexagonal stem terminating in a trefoil loop. The device is a bird, like an heraldic eagle<br />
[27].<br />
WMID676. Two long-cross hammered coins, both folded in half and interlocked with each other, forming a flat conical shape.<br />
One is a York penny, the other a Durham mint. Both Edward I [28].<br />
