Black Monk Posted August 24, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Graffiti etched on a wall in St Mary's Church, Ashwell, Hertfordshire. It tells us about when the Black Death came to the village in 1350, and left the village in 1361 when there were severe gales.Pestile (n) cia M.C.T.(er)x penta miseranda ferox violenta (discessit pestis) superset plebs pessima testis in fine qevent(us) (erat) valid(us) (...h)oc anno maurus in orbe tonat MCCCLXI Translation:There was a plague 1000,three times 100, five times 10, a pitiable, fierce violent (plague departed); a wretched populace survives to witness and in the end a mighty wind, Maurus, thunders in this year in the world, 1361 Edited August 24, 2017 by Black Monk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
