Our final #Southwell140 exhibition object for #April is this JETON TOKEN🪙
Made of copper alloy, it's dated between 1497-1547 and found in Southwell. It's a French coin in the Chatel Tournois style. It would've been used for counting and for playing games, akin to a poker chip🎰

In medieval times many monasteries and large houses had a PHYSIC GARDEN
filled with plants that could help with the smooth running of the household. This special place is today's #Southwell140 exhibit.
You can visit our Physic garden part of the Palace Gardens at the Minster🌱🍃

This striking patchwork window from fragments of medieval glass found in the Minster and made in 1920, is our 1st #Southwell140 object this week!
This is the only medieval glass window in the Minster. Much of England’s medieval stained glass was destroyed during the Reformation.
