Full Description
Pre 1904. ?Stray Find.
Late medieval candle holder found at Threxton, within the parish of Little Cressingham, some time prior to 1904. The only record of this find is a watercolour illustration titled 'Threxton metalwork and flints' produced by Frederick Sandys (1829-1904). This drawing (S1) is held by the NCM (NWHCM : 1951.235.1223.B136 : F) and bares the inscription "Antiquities found a Threxton and now in the cabinet of Thomas Barton Esqr the proprietor of the parish". This object is illustrated alongside a Middle Bronze Age spearhead (NHER 4677) and three Mesolithic flints (NHER 4669). The candle holder is very similar to one illustrated in (S2).
