Description

This is a stone wall that incorporates a collection of inscribed stones from the 16th century. The wall is made of low red sandstone and stands about six courses high, topped with flat coping stones. It serves as the boundary between a sports field and Chapel Street. The wall includes some of Reginald Bainbrigg’s late-16th century collection of inscribed stones, totaling 16 stones. Among these, four are identified as late-16th century copies of Roman inscriptions, specifically Roman Inscriptions of Britain numbers 998, 2285, 1202, and one that is now lost. Additionally, there are six late-16th century inscriptions created for Bainbrigg in the Roman style. Two other stones are believed to be copies of Roman stones but lack inscriptions. One stone is widely accepted as an original altar from Whellep Castle in Kirby Thore, dedicated to Belatucadrus (Roman Inscriptions of Britain number 759). The remaining three stones have uncertain origins.
