Re: Issue 21 - May 2009 Newsletter

I was very excited when I saw the lead sundial as I have found one almost identical to this one in Pennsylvania. It was found about 18 inches deep under old tree roots next to a 1700s mill.

Re: Lead bag and cloth seals

Say was a very fine wool cloth similar to worsted produced in Colchester in particular, when the Flemish weavers established themselves there between 1550 and 1600. The cloth was used for high quality cloaks and tablec...
