Context (CMS Context)
It is unclear why this object was identified as coming from France, ?Abbeville as the catalogue card lists it as hailing from England and the inscription on the object itself is illegible. Both place (i.e. France and England) have been added to the Place field to cover all bases. 17/5/2011 I.Gunn'
