Te Deum Stone

Te Deum Stone is a single stone of uncertain date located at Langfield Common in Todmorden. It features inscriptions on two adjoining faces, with the letters 'A' having a cross bar, which is characteristic of 17th century script, suggesting it may date from that time. The left face displays the inscription "T E D E U M L A U D A I D M U S T E", while the right face is similar. At the top of the shaft, there are the letters "BG TB," which appear upside down and may possibly indicate boundary marks. This stone is situated on an ancient packhorse route and is illustrated in A. Newell's "A Hillside View of Industrial History" from 1925 and R. Heape's "Inscribed and Dated Stones and Sundials in and adjoining the Ancient Parish of Rochdale" from 1926.
