Builder Glenn Henderson presents the centuries-old discoveries at a cottage in Lawrence — a spoon, an engraved knife and a coin. Glenn Henderson was refurbishing a 1960s cottage in Lawrence last week, when he discovered a stash of unusual objects inside a wall. The cottage where the coin was found is situated in Ross Pl and is a decade-long project of the Lawrence Charitable and Cultural Heritage Trust. ‘‘It’s quite a striking coin,’’ trust secretary Simone Budge said. The trust had not yet decided what would become of the historical objects, but had provisional plans to present them for public view in the finished cottage, Mrs Budge said.
