Old label found with these objects, probably relating to all this collection reads: ‘Sherds etc. [section missing] the site of a Manor house, Flambard's Manor, Meldreth, Cambs. Most of the sherds shown are from a layer earlier than the one which contained a coin of Henry III. They are chiefly 'Norman' & include only a few of the late Saxon type.’ A further old label adds: "C.A.S. Proc. Vol. XXXV".
