This is fascinating David! Would the "Mr Hobson" referenced in the below document be William Hobson by any chance? 🙂https://www.british-history.ac.uk/inquis-post-mortem/abstract/no3/pp44-58#h3-s3

This lovely book plopped through my door, with a chapter by me and the brilliant @ebenbow.bsky.social on so-called 'pilgrim souvenirs', medieval staff toppers, mould-making, trade in trinkets, and why we should embrace ambiguity in studying these objects.
