"The Knaresborough
Area Hoard"
CLICK ON THUMBNAILS TO ENLARGE
The 'Knaresborough Area hoard' was deposited circa 1135 and
consisted of 178 silver coins, all Henry I BMC type XV. The hoard was
discovered by a group of metal detectorists between April 20th, 2008 and April
15th, 2009. The reason
for the hoards concealment and perhaps more interestingly its non-recovery is
not known.
The hoard was was handed over to the appropriate authorities and studied by The
British Museum before being returned to the landowner and finders in May 2011.
All the coins below are of good silver, uncleaned,
with a mixture of bright silver and toned surfaces, some still
having light traces of dirt on the surface.
Knaresborough, known as Chenaresburg in the Domesday Survey,
is a market town situated 17 miles north west of York along side the river Nidd.
