From the collection of the famous author, writer and speaker, Gordon Bailey, Essex, UK; formed since 1968.
Cf. Bailey, G., Detector finds 2, Witham, 1993, pp.55-57, for similar foot pattens; Bailey, G., Detector finds 7, Witham, 2011, p.37, for a similar fork.
Bailey, G., Detector finds 5, Witham, 2002, fig.1, p.6, for the Medieval iron chisel.
Iron pattens first came into use probably in 17th century A.D., and gained popularity by the first half of this century. The original design of the patten was that of one piece of shaped wood, but this evolved into to a wooden platform attached to the underside of an iron ring. The foot pattens were forerunners of the Wellington boot which came into use in 19th century A.D.
