Default Remains of collection of antique/ancient axes for ID.

About 20ish years ago I bought a collection of very antique English/European axes.
At the time I rehafted a couple (long gone now) but there is a limit to the amount of axes I can stomach having on the wall, the rest of them ended up stored away.
Anyhow, I've dug them out and would appreciate any thoughts on their origins. They ranged in date back to late medieval at the least (possibly earlier).
I'm unsure what I'll do with them, but of course IDing them is a first step.

#1: I've always thought is was some kind of battle axe (but I could of course be wrong!)

Weight is around 1300g. Dimensions as shown.





#2: This next one was labelled as medieval battle axe.
Dimensions as shown, weight around 800g.
Thoughts?
