Ooh! Take a look at this #medieval chess piece 😮
Wonder who this belonged to? Children are often forgotten when exploring the past, but are a large part of any society. Found at Ruardean Castle on a @forestersforest dig, this chess pawn is a reminder of their #HiddenHistory
A lovely medieval chess piece ...wow!
