Given the state of the inscription we hope you are impressed with our ability to decipher it. We have to own that it is practically illegible and we can only read it because the wording is identical to that on the gate piers to the north. The only difference being that to the north it is all on one stone but here the list of names is on the right hand stone which is actually in such good condition we wonder if it is a reproduction.
