Title
Cannon ball
Description
English: An iron cannon ball probably dating from 1642 and associated with the Siege of Bradford. It is spherical and in excellent condition. It weighs nine pounds and has a diameter of four and a quarter inches which makes it likely to have been fired from a Demi Culverin cannon. The findspot was only about fifty yards from Bradford Cathedral which was a target during the Siege of Bradford on the 18th December 1642. For more information of the siege see <a href="http://www.goodricke.info/sir_john_goodricke_firstbart_seige-of-Bradford.htm">www.goodricke.info/sir_john_goodricke_firstbart_seige-of-Bradford.htm</a>
