To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Baines says — "Little more than half a mile to the north, on the road to Golborne and Wigan, is an ancient well, which has been known from time immemorial by the name of 'St. Oswald's Well, *" This well is still in existence, and a certain veneration at the present time hovers about it in the minds of others than the superstitious peasantry. On the upper portion of the south wall of the church is an inscription in Latin, purporting to be a " renovation " of a previous one, by a person named Scl...ater, in the year 1530, in the curacy of Henry Johnson. On a recent visit, this inscription, as well as other portions of the edifice, I found had undergone further renovation. Gough translates the first three lines as follows : — This place of old did Oswald greatly love : Who the Northumbeis ruled, now reigns above, And fiom Marcelde did to Heaven remove. Mr. Beamont gives the translation of the inscription as follows : — This place of yore did Oswald greatly love, Northumbria's King, but now a saint above, Who in Marcelde's field did fighting fall.
