The Cheapside Hoard
Alan Hodgkinson
Venue: West Kilbride Community Centre, Corse Street, West Kilbride, KA23 9AX
The mystery of the hoard is one which explores the background of how this extraordinary and large collection of Elizabethan jewellery came to be buried in the 17th Century, and found three centuries later when Cheapside was redeveloped. The area has a long history of the jewellery and allied trades, with The Goldsmiths’ Hall at its centre, (the original burned down in the Fire of London). The latter might even answer the mystery.
