Walter was a very bad boy… A Latin inscription from a church in Hertfordshire. The transcription is ‘Walter (con) Ba iii dedit annuatin sub pena excomunicatus majore’. It roughly translates as ‘Walter is to give annually 3 (somethings) under penalty of great excommunication’.

I've expanded the evidence for pseudo #heraldry in my 2022 paper on historic church #graffiti and #medieval personal seals and it's available on my academia page (link in bio) 🙂
