  "verb": "found",
  "object": "holy_rood_splinter",
  "confirmation": "Confirmed. Allardyce lifted the south end of the oratory threshold-stone for the carpenter's measurements and found a linen-wrapped parcel set in a hollow which the masonry had concealed by perhaps half an inch. He did not unwrap it; he replaced it; he wrote what he saw in a single sheet of foolscap kept thereafter in the muniment-box of the family."
