Lawshall Caches

Two concealed caches have been found by Mr and Mrs Harber at their property in Lawshall, Suffolk. Their house was originally a farm dwelling and is thought to date from between 1520 and 1550. The first cache was found in 2000 in a gap between a tie beam and a window sill, the second in 2001, at the side of the ground floor chimney stack. The Harbers run courses on the care and repair of timber-frames buildings from their home and the two caches are used to demonstrate the types of objects people may find concealed in a building.
