XLII. Observations on Two Jewels in the Possession of Sir Charles Mordaunt, Bart. By the Rev. Mr. Pegge
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
These two pieces were dug out of a bank near Lord Willoughby de Broke's seat at Compton-Mordock, alias Compton-Vernai, in the county of Warwick, A. D. 1774. Three sculls were found with them lying in a row. The pieces had been suspended on the necks of two of the parties there interred, as being their most valuable trinkets; and are now the property of Sir Charles Mordaunt, a respectable member of this Society, on whose estate they were found.
