Note: Quite a few objects have more than one county tentatively suggested for one artefact, this means that the following totals are the maximum figures for each county and also that if you added them up they would not total the total amount of English artefacts. A large number of objects do not provenances sufficient to assign counties to them. [ David add link to Number of English objects without provenance webpage, this note needs to be added to each webpage which discusses county breakdowns ie most of ones in folders Part II - Part IV ]
