Excerpt from Notes on Flint Chips and Pre-Historic Phases: At Tutnall, Near Bromsgrove At a meeting of the "Bromsgrove Naturalists' Field Club" in July, 1880, on the occasion of the members visiting the remains of Dodford Priory, a few flint arrow heads were placed on view by Mr. John Moore, of Tutnall. No particulars were at the time forthcoming, and the interesting character of the flints led me to make further enquiries, and to visit the locality where they were found. The result I have been induced to place on record in the following pages. I have to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. Moore for his kindness in placing at my disposal a selection from his collection for the purpose of illustrating my remarks, and for his courtesy in rendering me such assistance as lay in his power. In Worcestershire, so far as I am aware, but few pre-historic remains of this class have been found, and it is on this account that I have been tempted to describe and illustrate those under notice. A few stone and bronze weapons have been discovered in the county, and the late Mr. Jabez Allies, in his "Antiquities and Folk-lore of Worcestershire," gives particulars and illustrations of some of them. A whetstone, drilled for suspension, which has been much used, was found by Mr. Aldridge, at Longdon in this county, in 1868, and it is now in the Blakemore Collection at Salisbury. The illustrations have been most carefully drawn from the originals by Messrs. Watson, of Great Charles Street, Birmingham.
