Read our privacy policy A metal dectorist discovered a 400-year-old gold ring worth up to £30,00 in the grounds of Paul Hollywood’s £1.4 million former home. It’s remarkable.” Although the history of the relic cannot be known for certain, Mr Presland believes the circumstances of the find make it more likely it was lost rather than hidden or taken by force. He said: “It’s more than likely that it was a random loss, and slipped off somebody’s finger 450 years ago when they were out, doing whatever they were doing outside.” Mr Presland, who runs Manor Wines in the village, says a local museum is looking to buy the griffin ring, but he is keeping which one under wraps for now. “It’s always nice to have some recognition but ultimately if it stays in the local area and people can come and look at it and enjoy seeing it.” Alex Hollywood declined to comment on the piece of history that was discovered on her land.
