| Content: | Concerning the exhibition by Mr J.O.Westwood of a collection of spears, a knife, six iron and two bronze fibulae, amber beads, white and variegated glass and clay beads discovered in a Saxon barrow at Lower Heywood opened by Reverend Mr Filmer. The barrow also contained a skeleton. The transcript goes on to describe the barrow when it was opened and suggests that it may have been a Christian burial.
