Description
Saxon-medieval type spindle whorl found in vicarage garden, parallels one found at Bonhunt. In private possession. <1> <2> <3>
Original source gives TQ 949 875 as location, however there is no record of a vicarage ever having been in this location. A vicarage is known from the 1st ed OS map at TQ 9415 8755 and it may be this vicarage garden in which the find was made. It is not known when the vicarage went out of use as such. <4> <5>
Note: The original location given is adjacent to St Nicholas' Church, EHER 11065, and the 'vicarage' referenced may be a building related to the church. This record has been mapped to the location of the former vicarage, as depicted on the 1st edition OS map, but the actual location of the find is unknown.
