" figure vested like a king, and the letters HER SEX I and 
" BLISPERH ; in the third also are names, PENCREST, 
"BANTOMP, PINEPEGN; in the fourth, BATE, 
" PVLFRED, and EANFLED ; in the fifth, which is also 
" the lowest, there is an image and this inscription, LOGOR, 
"PEAS LICAS, and BREGDEN, SPELPES, HIPIN 
" GENDES BEARN. The other pyramid is twenty-six 
" feet high, and has four panels, in which are read these 
"words:— CENT WINE, HEDDE EPISCOPVS and 
"BREGORED and BEORWARD. What these mean 
" I do not rashly decide, but I suspect that their bones are 
"contained within, in stone coffins, whose names are read 
" without." 
In the Antiquities of the Church of Glastonbury, by the 
same author, we have another description of these monu- 
ments, with some variations in the reading of the inscriptions, 
as follows. On the first : — 
HER.SEXI. BLISYER 
WE ME RE ST BANTOMF PINEPEGN 
HATS PYLFRED EANFLED 
LOGPORPESLICAS 
BREGDEN SPELPES 
HYINGENDES BERN 
On the second : — 
HEDDE EPISCOPVS 
BREGORED BEORWARD 
It is to be observed, that this author describes but one 
side of each monument, that on which there were images ; 
from which it is probable that, like the cross at Bewcastle, 
they had images on one side only, and on the others, knots 
and scrolls, which he did not think it necessary to mention.* 
From the readings he gives it is impossible to make out the 
whole of the inscriptions satisfactorily, though it is clear that 
* This is the case, also, with one of the crofses at Hexham, already alluded to. 
It has scrolls on three sides, and on the fourth the Crucifixion, with traces of an 
inscription beneath.
