OXFORD SEALS
A recent excavation in the centre of Oxford produced one whole bottle bearing the seal of the King's Head Tavern and dated 1695 and with the initials of Richard Walker, the then owner of the tavern. Several detached seals, mostly from Jesus College, were also found including one unusually bearing 4 initials R. E. I. C.. This may be attributed to Richard Eyton who was a member of Jesus College ca. 1780 which is the approximate date of the seal. At least one of the Jesus College seals is previously unrecorded.
