WMH-9343: ** THE BURGHLEY HOUSE HOARD** Richard 1st Medieval
Hammered Silver Voided Short Cross Penny. Class 4a,
+WILLELM.ON.WIN - rarer Winchester mint.
S.R.1348A. In
2021, going into 2022, one of the largest hoards of early Plantagenet coinage
was discovered in the grounds of the famous Burghley
House estate - a Grade 1 listed English Country House (resembling a very large
stately home) in Stamford, Lincolnshire. Lord Burghley -
David Cecil, later the 6th Marquess of Exeter - famously
won the gold medal in the 400-metre hurdles at the 1928 Summer Olympics, as
depicted in the film, Chariots of Fire, with extensive training throughout the
1,400 acres of his estate. He famously
got one of his grounds men to lay out his hurdles on the estate with an upright
matchbox on each one, the aim being to not only clear each hurdle, at
full speed, but to just clear each hurdle, at full speed, and further, to just clear each
hurdle, at full speed, at a specific
point on each hurdle with the leading leg with hopefully all matchboxes
being successfully dislodged and hurdles intact! The hoard consisted of approximately 350 Plantagenet
pennies and halfpennies, ranging from Henry II to Henry III. The hoard deposition is estimated to the very
early 1240's, based on the latest coins in the hoard - class 7c pennies of
Henry III. The find was handed over to
the state via the PAO scheme. After an
inquest, the hoard was eventually disclaimed and returned to the finder. See here for the story in
print. Of those 350 hoard coins, the
Richard 1st cohort was a meagre eight coins, illustrating nicely just how rare
this monarch is within the short cross period in general. Tickets
here. A
rare coin from a rarer mint and within a secure hoard context.

majority were Henry III, illustrating that John, whilst not a rare monarch
within the short cross period, is certainly not the commonest. Tickets
