A hoard of silver coins hidden in a Northamptonshire field (England) during the Wars of the Roses is expected to fetch more than £30,000 at auction in December.

The 290 silver groats were found in a field in Brackley in 2005 by a man using a metal detector.

It is thought they were hidden in the summer of 1465 by someone who went into hiding during the dynastic civil war.

Jeremy Cheek, from auctioneers Morton and Eden, said the coins represented a "sizeable stash of money" at the time.
