Tealby Hoard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tealby Hoard is a hoard of some 6,000 medieval coins found at Tealby, Lincolnshire in 1807.[1]

The discovery of the coin hoard was first reported in the Stamford Mercury on 6 November 1807: "a person ploughing...turned up at one end of a considerable tumulus a coarse glazed earthen pot, which contained about five thousand silver pennies, of Henry I and Henry II". It was followed up with a short article on 20 November which identified that some of the hoard had been deposited at the British Museum and others were in private collections, especially that of Joseph Banks.[1]
