Nice find. It's a trade weight with the following marks:

1. A ewer - The London Founders' Company mark (looks like a coffee-pot)
2. The sword of St Paul - the City of London Guildhall mark
3. Crown over ’A’ - the royal cypher for Queen Anne

I don't know of a specific website, but there are 307 different ones on UKDFD, with lots of information on the marks here:
