1260 AD Non Heraldic
personal seal of freeholders of Charwelton Nothhamptonshire. 4 have
been found attached to pasture rights. The design is typical of mid
13thC non heraldic seals like the one published on the 23rd Jan post,
a fleur -de- lis, a flower, the lamb of god and each names it's owner
on the legend.
