Full Description
Various objects known to have been found during the 19th and early 20th centuries in Binham, but with no additional information regarding provenance.
Around 1850. Stray Find.
Found "near Binham Priory":
1 medieval copper alloy purse frame with inlaid niello inscription. Late 15th century.
This object is now held by the Victoria and Albert Museum (M.14-1968) and the above provenance is taken from the museum's records.
This is the purse frame exhibited at a meeting of the Society of Antiquaries of London in March 1859 by Rev. W. Legge of Fakenham, along with a number of other objects from Norfolk. It was subsequently described and figured in (S1), in which it is recorded as having been "…found in a pond near Barham" (almost certainly an error as there is no such place in Norfolk). Much of this information (including the illustration and the incorrect Barham provenance) was subsequently reproduced in (S2).
