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.
