HOARD OF BRONZE AXES FROM WINDSOR. 
T. SHEPPARD, M.SC. , F.G.S. 
So long ago as 1864 a small Hoard of- bronze axes was found 
at Windsor, in the Great Park. One of the specimens was 
presented to the British Museum, the remaining four to the 
Museum at the Albert Institute, Windsor, by the late Queen. 
The collections in the Windsor Museum were purchased 
by the Hull Corporation recently, and the four Windsor 
bronzes were included. The British Museum example is 
briefly referred to in the Proceedings of the Society of Anti- 
quaries for 1866 by the late H. W. Franks, in describing the 
additions to the British Museum during 1866 — ‘ A bronze 
celt of an unusual variety was presented by Her Majesty, 
having been found with others in the Great Park at Windsor/ 
The other four are referred to in the Handbook of the Museum 
of the Albert Institute, Windsor, page 6 : — ‘ In compartment 
1, of Case A, there are two .[four] British Bronze Celts, which 
were discovered in 1864, about 200 yards from Bishopsgate, 
1922 July 1
