The bell above (AN1923.838) was excavated from a pit (Pit 3 west of House 7) on the same site. Is this bell different from the other bell? Find out more about what was found in this pit. |

Both these bells are made from iron. However, the Anglo-Saxons also made bells from bronze (copper alloy). The bell below (AN1909.256b) is made from bronze and was found at the Barrington A Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Malton in Cambridgeshire. This bell is much smaller and may have had a different use to those above. You can still see the bell clapper inside this bell (see the picture below) |
