Parts of several vessels recently recovered by Mr W. Nunn of Great Canfield, and loaned to Miss Couchman for study. The pond has a stream through it, it seems probable it was originally excavated as a fish pond to serve Fitzjohns. Two medieval vessels represented, including the base of a jug dating to 1400-1500, and part of body of a jug of about 1375-1500. <2>
