| ... The curious collection of inscriptions made here [Free Grammar School] by Mr. Camden's friend Bainbridge were dispersed or stolen at the rebuilding of the school in this century, except those to be specified. So little consolation have collectors who labour for incurious or ungrateful posterity! | ||
| "Upon a front of a little building made of stone by Mr. Reginald Bainbrigg in 1602, he being then schoolmaster of the freeschool of Appleby, are placed divers stones having Roman inscriptions upon them; which he (being much affected to those antiquities) had got together from several parts of this county, and also out of Northumberland and Cumberland. They are placed in two ranks, twelve in one and eight in the other. There is one also above towards the roof; and another on a coyne-stone looking towards the south. There are two more also on the front of the school-house, viz. on each side of the doore one. | ||
| "The letters upon some of these seeme to have been cut deeper, by direction of the sayd Mr. Bainbrigg, in respect they were all most worne out by time. | ||
| "Of some of these Mr. Cambden hath printed copyes in his Britannia, which were communicated to him by this school-master, as he acknowledgeth. | ||
| "There are three other stones, viz. one standing just ouer the doore of the sayd building, and the other adjoyning to it towards the south, whereon are these following inscriptions, cut by direction of the sayd Mr. Bainbrigg, viz. | ||
| Page 158:- | ||
| C.C. in the 4th line in circumfluit, F.F. in the 4th funditus, and the last F. fuit. So that here we have its Roman antiquity, its devastation by war and pestilence, and the removal of the market to Gilshaughlin four or five miles north-west of the town in Cliburn parish. | ||
| "The other stones which are placed on the front of this building, all except two, I take to be copies made by the said Reginald Bainbrig, from severall originals which he found in sundry places of this country and the parts adjacent; most of which are published by Mr. Camden, if not all." | ||
| date:- | 1789 | |
