A pope’s seal dating back 700 years has been discovered in Shropshire.
The medieval find represents the 1.5 millionth archaeological object to have been officially unearthed by the public in Britain.
Pope Innocent IV, whose papacy began in 1243, used the lead coin-like object to confer political and religious favours.
Metal detectorist Andy Bassett found the object in a ploughed field in Shropshire and its discovery has now been officially recorded.
