        Strong East Anglian link, tokens reflect local variation of more widespread 'Boy Bishop' tradition; could apparently be exchanged for alms.

        @caitlinrgreen What are the tokens made of? Were they worth anything?

        @MZiegler3 They're made of lead and were probably a low-value, notional currency that could be exchanged for alms :)

        @lambandflag99 Looks like local variant of Boy Bishop tradition, started by/associated w/ Bury Abbey (Bury St Edmunds), hence distribution?
