Walker (1887: 427): "A good bowl, possibly of late fourteenth century date. It is circular with a circular orifice [i.e., basin well] and bottom drain. The rim is ornamented with a double-headed moulding, with a nail-head between them. The drain is large, and placed slightly to the inside of the bottom. Part of the shaft, square in plan, is worked upon the bowl."
