Summary
Bronze religious medal in square, red leather box. Probably relates to Marmion Ferrers' time at Oscott College, Sutton Coldfield. Depicting virgin and child and six cherubs on obverse and an eye in a triangle with sunbursts, i.e. the all-seeing eye, on reverse. Around edge "COL. S. MARIAE. OSCOTT" (sic) 01.11.00 Oscott College says medals were awarded for some sort of achievement, though not necessarily academic.
