Extract

In a tour I made last summer from Scarborough to the South of Yorkshire, I paid a visit to the Rev. Dr. Comber, a relation of mine, whose seat is not far distant from Kirkdale church in Rydale in that county; and one day we took a ride to see the curious Saxon inscription over the South door of that building, sometime since discovered by the Rev. Mr. William Dade, rector of Barmston, a worthy clergyman in the East-Riding, and of which, as you informed mè, Mr. Pegge communicated a copy to the Society in a letter addressed to the late Bishop of Carlisle, anno 1771.

page 200 note [y] I must in this place observe, that though the Chronicles of the Monks are generally esteemed as legendary and of little authority; yet when, at the distant period of 700 years, we find monuments of this nature produced, which so evidently evince the existence of the parties mentioned therein, it considerably adds to their weight, and serves to remove the stigmas which have usually been thrown upon them.
