[TQ 71186668] Roman Pottery & Sepulchral Urns found A.D.1860 [T.I] (1)

In excavating the foundations of the White Hart Inn, Cuxton, workmen brought to light recently [1860] a deposit of Roman vessels, many of which are of red lustrous ware, probably belonging to a sepulchral interment. One cup has the potter's name MATERNVS stamped on the bottom. The vessels were sent to Cobham Hall. (2)

The present whereabouts of the finds was not ascertained; they are not in the possession of Lord Darnley nor are they at Cobham Hall, now in the hands of the M.O.W. (3)
