In
February Wendy Scott, F. L.O for Leicestershire spoke on the large
hoard found at Market Harborough. Her talk illustrated with slides
showed this hoard is likely to rewrite the chronology of inscribed
coinage in the East Midlands. The hoard which was previously reported,
holds many coins which were classed as rare but now due to the
quantity found this is no longer the case. Many coins are still
with the British Museum being extracted from the blocks of earth
just as they were lifted from the ground. Until all the coins
are examined we will not know the significance or the value of
this amazing hoard.
