Abstract
The lion motif in Romano-British art, with a note on two copper alloy lion-head mounts from Rocester, Staffordshire
Iain M Ferris
1 - 17
Contra D Symons (86/531) numerous representations of lions are found in RB art. The mechanism of their introduction to Britain is considered, the army, merchants, and cult being important. The lion was symbolic of death and of fate, hence is used in funerary contexts; it also had apotropaic use or was seen as purely decorative. The Rocester mounts are figured and discussed.
Two Romano-British bronzes from the vicinity of Wall, Staffordshire
D J Symons
18 - 20
A button-and-loop fastener; and a folding knife handle showing Ganymede borne off by Zeus as eagle.
Two capitals in Holy Trinity Church, Baswich, Stafford
Robert Meeson
D Sant
21 - 22
Both are of 11th/12th century, reset, perhaps from an earlier Norman church here.
A medieval moat at Sinai Park, Burton upon Trent
M A Neal
26 - 29
Watching brief was maintained during mechanical clearance of the moat. It was recorded c 1334, but the primary silts are of 16th century, presumably representing the last cleaning. Two arms of the moat could even be a late ornamental feature. An oak beam with mortices could be from bridge timbers.
The medieval landscape of West Bromwich
M A Hodder
30 - 34
The area is discussed with reference to the parish church, manor house, Sandwell Priory, settlements, fields, and road systems. The development is seen as an expression of lordship by successive lords of the manor.
Medieval and postmedieval pottery from West Bromwich manor house
M A Hodder
35 - 38
Summarizes the main types, running from 13th/14th to 17th centuries, consistent with the documentation of the manor.
Medieval parks in Drayton Bassett, Shenstone, and Weeford (Staffordshire)
M A Hodder
39 - 52
Fieldwork and documentary evidence defined the extents and chronologies, and allowed study of pre-park land use, internal features, and functional uses. Finds included RB and med pottery and worked flints. Three of the parks were early med, two later med.
Two early roofs at Blithfield Hall, Staffordshire, and their significance
Robert Meeson
53 - 63
A fully enclosed courtyard plan may have developed on the med moated site as early as 14th century. An unusual 16th century roof on the site of the med open hall and the remains of a 15th century first-floor open chamber roof are described and discussed in relation to the overall plan of the buildings. It is concluded that the roofs reflect the end of a sequence of alternate reconstructions which began in or before the 14th century. (The unusual roof has wind braces in the form of truncated-spoke wheels). Au(amp)
