See Portable Antiquities Scheme, reference YORYM-CD0BFB (this ring); see Hawleys Auctioneers Ltd sale catalogue, Beverley Racecourse, 21 September 2008, lot 179 (this ring; illustrated"). 9.64 grams, 26.07mm overall, 19.07mm internal diameter (approximate size British Q 1/2, USA 8 1/4, Europe 18.12, Japan 17) (1"). Property of an East Yorkshire private collector; acquired Hawleys, Beverley Racecourse, 21 September 2008, lot 179; found in Kingswood area, Hull, UK, in the early 1990s; shown to Hull Museum and subsequently identified as 14th century by the British Museum circa 2006; again shown to Hull Museum in 2008; recorded with PAS, York Museum Trust, York Castle Museum under reference number E05308 and the Coroner for the City of Kingston upon Hull in 2017; deemed not to be treasure under the Treasure Act 1996; accompanied by copies of the Portable Antiquities Scheme report number YORYM-CD0BFB, York Museums Trust record form, the Hawleys auction catalogue, and geologic report No. TL005213, by geologic consultant Dr R. L. Bonewitz. Kingswood is an area of generally low-lying land close to Kingston-upon-Hull, much of it now developed in modern times for housing. In the medieval period, from 1293 AD when Edward I took possession of the settlement at Wyke (it took its present day name by Royal charter in 1299 AD) and surrounding area, Kingswood was a place having a mixture of marsh and wooded land with habitation thinly scattered on small areas of higher ground; a mill on the riverbank was built by the monks of Meaux Abbey in the 13th century AD. With most of this land being unsuitable for agriculture, it is quite likely that, with it also not being adequately drained and subject to sea flooding (the Forthdyk/Foredike was cut in the 13th century AD), that the king might well have reserved the area for hunting. Open marshland would have provided an excellent resource and venue for falconry, hunting wild and waterfowl of all kinds; the wooded areas would have sheltered deer, wild boar and other animals. It is said (as published in the 1817 Guide to Hull, by J C Craggs) that King Edward I, in the company of a hunting party in the area, ended up at the then settlement of Wyke on the banks of the river Hull and, seeing the potential for a port both to defend against foreign invasion and to facilitate trade, soon after acquired it from Meaux Abbey. This ring is of superb quality and would have been the property of a very eminent gentleman; certainly nobility or possibly even of Royal blood. The dating is contemporary with the likely visits to the area of Edward I and, with the reference to the king hunting locally, it could well have been lost by a companion of the king during such a hunt. The ring is also unusual in having a garnet so carefully and skilfully shaped; unlike many of the period where simple cabochon or irregular shapes are seen. Very fine condition. A large wearable size. Extremely rare.
Lot 584

From a Suffolk family collection; by descent from the vendor's father, who formed his collection prior to 1990. [No Reserve] Very fine condition. A large wearable size.

[A video of this item is available to view on TimeLine Auctions website.] Willis, Alastair 50 Finds from Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire – Objects from the Portable Antiquities Scheme, Stroud, 2016, p.72 & 73; and on the front cover of Garrett, Vaughan Vaughan Garrett’s Favorite Finds Metal Detecting Book, 2019; recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme with reference number DENO-5082A6; accompanied by a print out of the PAS report and copies of the front covers of the books and copies of pages 72 and 73 of 50 Finds from Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire – Objects from the Portable Antiquities Scheme. 1.55 grams, 17.53mm overall, 15.48mm internal diameter (approximate size British J, USA 4 3/4, Europe 8.69, Japan 8) (3/4").

Lot 618
Circa 1600 AD. A spectacular late Elizabethan (or early Jacobean) gold ring of the Harvey family of Launceston comprising a flat discoid bezel with beading below the rim and band of radiating billets to the face, trefoil interlace motif above and between the initials with floret finials, pointillé detailing; initials 'HW' with neat serifs and 'V' or inverted chevron below, the 'W' formed as two intersecting 'V's; the shoulders with reserved acanthus-leaf ornament; slender D-section hoop. [A video of this item is available to view on TimeLine Auctions website.] The Portable Antiquities Scheme record notes: There is a reference in Hutchins, J. The History and Antiquities of the County of Dorset, (p.574) to the Harvey family which owned the manor of Tarrant Launceston, one of whom was named William and was aged 21 in 1623. It is possible that this is a personal seal ring belonging to William Harvey. 11.64 grams, 22mm overall, 19.08mm internal diameter (approximate size British R 1/2, USA 9, Europe 19.69, Japan 19) (1"). Found Launceston, UK, Saturday 3rd May 2014; disclaimed as Treasure by the Crown under Treasure reference number 2014 T520; accompanied by a copy of the Portable Antiquities Scheme report number DOR-2334D9, and a copy of the Harvey family of Tarrent Launceston family tree and pedigree. The Harvey family (also spelt Harvye or Harvy) were important landholders in Tarrant Launceston in the River Tarrant valley area of Dorset. There are a few possibilities for identification of the ring's owner with initials 'WH' since the type is datable to the later Elizabethan period around 1600 AD, but might have been inscribed a little later. The parish records for Tarrant Monkton (for which Tarrant Launceston was a chapel of ease) show a man named William Harvey buried there in 1590 and his wife, Rebecca, in 1593. The William Harvey who probably owned the ring was born around 1602 (being 21 years old in 1623) and was probably the son (or nephew?) of the earlier William. The Harvey family continued to dwell in the area, and a second William Harvey is indicated when his daughter, Hester, died in 1712; a third William was baptised in 1730. Very fine condition. A large wearable size.
