The seal of the priory of Carlisle 1 * is 

 round, representing the half length figures of 

 the Virgin and Child upon a bridge, between 

 two angels with outstretched wings censing. 

 A Gothic building stands on each side of 

 the bridge, which has two trefoiled arches, 

 within which, on the left, is an ecclesiastic, 

 probably a canon, and on the right a bishop 

 with mitre and crosier. Between the arches 

 is, in a small countersunk oval panel, a cross. 

 At the base is an embattled wall. The legend 

 is : SIGIL' . . . CCLESIE SANCTE MAR . . . 

 EOLI. Two impressions of this seal ia are at 

 the British Museum attached to deeds about 

 the appropriation of the church of Bromfield 

 in 1303. 



A counter seal, 14 perhaps that of Adam de 

 Warthwyk, the prior, is the impression of an 

 antique gem representing a winged Fortune 

 or Minerva with inscription in field : DIVS F . . 

 ... In the metal setting at the points be- 

 tween the gem and the legend are two shields 

 of arms : top three bars base fretty. 



The seal of the dean and chapter" is a 

 pointed oval showing the Virgin kneeling be- 

 fore an altar on which is an open book. Be- 

 hind is a classical niche with a round headed 

 arch, and below is the shield of arms of the 

 chapter. The legend runs : SIGIL DECANI 



ET ' CAP ECCL CATH ' B ' MARIE ' VIRG ' 

 CARLIOL ' l66o. 



12 The seal reproduced here is from a deed in 

 the possession of the dean and chapter of Dur- 

 ham, but see also B.M. Seals, 2412-7.
