Bewcastle Cross

Print, uncoloured engraving, runes on the Bewcastle Cross, Bewcastle, Cumberland, published by the Gentleman's Magazine, London, 1742.
We insert the following INSCRIPTION, not doubting that it will fall into the Hands of some Gentleman who understands the Language, and will please to give us the Explication. It is taken from a very curious Obelisk, erected for a Monument in a Church-yard in Cumberland.
