Seal of Carlisle

Sir Henry Ellis exhibited impressions of the ancient Seal of the city of Carlisle, still in use, of the work of the latter end of the 13th or beginning of the 14th century. The obverse presents the Virgin and Child, and the counterseal a cross flory between four roses. On each side is the same ungrammatical legend: S. COMUNIS CIVIUM KARLIOLENSIS: with an inner legend on the obverse, AVE MARIA GRACIA PLENA.
