(i.e. Ortn, Gamal's son, bought St. Gregory's Minster, when it was all to 

 broken and to fallen. He caused it to be renewed from ground to Christ 

 and St. Gregory in Edward's days the king, in Tosti's days the earl.) 



Dr. Young mentions also another sun-dial, with an imperfect 

 inscription, in the same style of lettering, with eight hour 

 spaces, and probably of the same date, at Edstone, not far from 

 Kirkdale. The inscriptions state, 'Lothan me wrohte* and

The Bran is partly swallowed up by the limestone about

 discovered. At Eastness, near Hovingham (1616), a sarcophagus, 

 placed north and south, was dug from a depth of 3 yards, bearing
