The Cheapside Hoard by Hazel Forsyth
The Cheapside Hoard is the greatest hoard of Elizabethan and Jacobean jewellery ever found. Now displayed in the Museum of London, it was uncovered in the cellar of a building demolished in 1912. The hoard includes a wide range of high quality necklaces, rings, pendants and brooches, many of them incorporating precious and semi-precious stones from all over the world. This beautifully illustrated new book tells the full story of its discovery and describes many of the key objects from the collection.
