Cloth Seal, Norwich Weavers' Company Seal, 1693

Cloth Seal, Norwich Weavers' Company Seal, 1693, Image by StuE, Found by Saxonman.
Found in Beccles Suffolk.

(NOR) / (WIC) / H // (PB) / (G)BHB / (G)BCL / (C)L

One side probably has NOR /WIC / H in three lines (from other seals of this type), the other has twelve initials about half missing or illegible - (PB) / (G)BHB / (G)BCL / (C)L.

The missing initials can be found in the Norwich Mayor's Court Book held at the Norfolk Record office under reference: NCR Case 16a/24. It matches those shown for 1693(fol. 306v) and with the help of a transcription found in Provenanced Leaden Seals, Geoffrey Egan, Department of Medieval Archaelogy, University College,University of London, 1987, the names that year for the Norwich wardens were - Gilbert Pickeringe, Nicholas Booty, Thomas Goskirke, John Balderston, George Hase and James Bacon, and for the rest of Norfolk - James Garrett, Wm Barber, Nicholas Chamberlaine, Henry Lincolne, James Codlin and Nathaniel Lubbocke. Also from the same reference see seal 647 for a match to this one.

See Nos.81-85 Figs.21-22, Egan, Lead Seals and Related Items in the British Museum.

Also see the 'Worsted Reformed' seals on this Gallery that were attached to the other end of these cloths.
