Footnotes

In the Oxford post medieval levels, of the later material, the most interesting piece was a large fragment of stoneware flagon, substantially identical to our specimen, inscribed 'R, Gurden Roe Buck Oxford'. Trade directories of the mid-19th century show that a Richard Curden was proprietor of the Roebuck family and commercial hotel and posting house in Cornmarket Street.
