Foot 'patten' friends surface find, post medieval AD1650-1850

"The patten was intended to raise the feet from the ground in difficult walking conditions such as mud, to keep them dry and clean.

A mid 17th century to 18th century date is given though their use continued into the 19th century."


How they fitted to the boot/shoe.

...and finally....."The word patten probably derives from the Old French patte meaning hoof or paw."
 
Again great finds.

That gun part is definitely a trigger guard.

Not sure that the "patten" would keep your foot out of the mud.
I see it as to bottom of a stirrup. Possible?

The person who found it thought it was horse related until I informed him what the item was used for.

Fantastic finds as always Doug. Thanks for sharing! I'd be curious what was there before the 1700s village.

The village church which is a few hundred yards up the road the tower dates back to the 13th century with the rest of the building 15th century. The village consisted of really just one road with cottages on either side until a road was constructed around the village at a later date.

History at is finest. Congrats Doug on more fantastic recoveries. Trapper
