Single-sided seal of William; not a double-sided seal as per Stevenson and Wood, but used in conjunction with a counterseal. According to Stevenson and Wood, the seal depicts a *griffin* on the back of a *wyvern*, not on a shield; according to Greenwell and Blair’s catalogue of Durham seals, the seal depicts a dragon on the back of a ‘bird-like monster’.
