'A few days since an earthen pot, containing upwards of 500 pieces of English silver coin, was ploughed up in a field in the neighbourhood of Aylsham. The far greater part appear to be Groats of Henry VII; some smaller pieces among them such as pennies, &c., are of the time of the Edwards; and there are also two gold Angels of Henry VI'.
