Description:		A detached zoomorphic foot from a late medieval candlestick which is cast in the form of a seated lion with engraved features. The lion would have been one of three figurative feet, together supporting a raised base plate with central holder (see image 6, taken from Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam).  Probably manufactured in Holland, see also; KENT-23BA75 as similar.

Description:		The upper part of a two-part candlestick of the late medieval to early post-medieval period. The holder has a hollow hexagonal cross-section with two slots (at opposite faces) to facilitate candle height adjustment. The holder tapers gently to the broken ring, which would have been riveted to a (missing) saucer-shaped base.

Description:		The stem and candle socket of a late medieval copper-alloy candlestick. The stem has a collar mid-way along its length and another at the base end. A short length of stem below the second collar served as a spigot to attach the stem to the (missing) base of the candlestick. The underside of the collar served as a shoulder to locate the stem axially within the base. The socket is parallel and undecorated. There is a 5mm diameter hole immediately above the basal collar, the function of which is uncertain.

Description:		A cast copper-alloy candlestick of the medieval period. It has a discoidal base with three short legs, a tapered polygonal stem, and a socket with a forked support. The base is decorated with three concentric grooves, and there are further grooves around the stem. Part of the base is missing. Early candlesticks of this type are believed to have been imported from the Continent and are rarely found in England. The The Medieval Household example cited below was recovered from ceramic phase 11 (c.1350-c.1400). Cf. PAS: PUBLIC-C37065
