“The coin was met with at Hurst Hall, ten miles north-westward of Manchester, a Tudor mansion now converted into a farm-house, but occupied by successive members of one family for the last century and a half. The portion of the park grounds where it was unearthed (eight inches deep), had not previously been ploughed within memory of the residents.”
