1 8 1. O. Isack Williams = A mortar and pestle.

 from No. 181 in the details of the reverse.

rj 



R. of Stalbridge. 1669 = , , 



This farthing token has not hitherto been recorded, save by 

 the writer in 5. & D. N. & Q., Vol. XL, p. 37. The register 

 of Stalbridge throws no light upon the issuer, probably owing to 

 the fact that it dates only from 1 690. The transcripts at Salisbury 

 have not yet been examined. A tablet in the nave of Stalbridge 

 church, mentioned by Hutchins, records the death of Temperance 

 Collins in 1666. (Plate 14.)
