The late Mr Charles Laxton had 26 Roman coins that were found in a sand hole at Cholmondeston, not far from the Roman road named Whatfield Pavement, but no particulars as to the time and place of the discovery can be found. They were briefly examined by JP Earwalker, and were said to be of the Constantine family, most of them being of the FEL. TEMP. REPARTIO. Type.
