Britain's rich history

I though I share a few find with you from across the pond. We are lucky to live on a fairly small island that everyone wanted to invade at sometime or other, and if the Greek economy collapses we can expect another invasion.

But here are a few of my interesting pieces, i've managed to find over the years some items dating back 3000 years, long before the Roman invasion.

Brilliant finds there i'm already envious. Hutch.
 

The Limoges mount you see in my hand has come off a religious cross, and can been seen on this example fixed to each arm. It dates to about 14th Century and would have originated in France.
