Feare God. Honor the King.

Now worn away, this was originally inscribed on this 'Plague Stone'. Lepers, and those infected by plague would come to this place to buy food, placing the coins in the hollow at the top which was filled with disinfecting vinegar.

so I showed him as I was walking that way, anyway.
