Saxon sword (centre) and spearheads found at Horncastle (Lincolnshire, England).

The blade of the sword is over 83cm in length.  The spears are both socketed, and one still has the rivets that attached it to a wooden shaft.

Walled Garden Baumber.

About (sourced from Walled Garden Baumber’s own official site, the Visit Lincolnshire tourism listing and a feature guide on Lincoln and Beyond)

• It’s a 4‑acre double‑walled garden in Baumber, near Horncastle, Lincolnshire, originally the 19th‑century kitchen garden for Stourton Hall (demolished in 1955).

• The site was derelict when designer and photographer duo Sonia and David Elton took it on in 2006. They restored it from the ground up, adding creative new features while preserving its history.

• They first opened the gates to the public in 2016 for Friday afternoons - the response was so positive that by 2017 the old potting shed had become a tearoom, with plant sales and events added.

• Today it’s open all year round with free entry, dog‑friendly policies and a mix of quirky planting areas, a lake, tropical house, and deckchair lawns.

• The tearoom serves home‑baked food with vegan and gluten‑free options, often using local produce - sounds like you sampled that part to the full.

• It’s also a wedding and events venue, and hosts seasonal markets, workshops, and festive events.
