LOT 3641
Two 17th century cannonballs and a lead cannonball, thought to be late medieval or Tudor period. Note: the two 17th century cannonballs were discovered by Mr Ralph Butcher at Barnham Court, West Sussex, in the late 1980s. He was ditch-cleaning when his spade hit something hard and, on further exploration, he discovered a hoard of thirteen cannonballs, all of the same size. The owner of the property, Mr John Force, kept eleven of them and Ralph Butcher took two. It is thought that the balls were deposited during the English Civil War. All three cannonballs have since been passed to the current owners.
Estimate: £40 – £60
