The 20-carat gold ring, which is engraved with an image of St George, the patron saint of England, will be sold at Hansons Auctioneers in Etwall on 24 January.

“It is a superb example of the craftsmanship of the time. Only high-ranking figures such as bishops or nobility would have been able to afford a ring of such high quality featuring fine decorative engraving and faceting," said Adam Staples, from Hansons.

“It may well have belonged to a bishop from Beverley Minster and would have been commissioned.”

There was a beautiful sunrise this morning.
