St Michael and All Angels (Isel) submitted by Sunny100 on 30th Apr 2011. The 9th-10th century 'Triskele Stone' in St Michael's church, Iselgate, Cumbria. This three armed Norse carving could well represent The Holy Trinity.

Log Text: St Michael and All Angels, Isel/Blindcrake: We had first visited the Grade II listed medieval well in Blindcrake at NY 1486 3482, which has a domed well head very similar to the holy well at Brompton.
This is a very, very pretty location for a church, and the inside did not disappoint. There are two fragments of the same cross shaft displayed immediately opposite as you walk in through the south porch, a couple of fragments built into the walls, and four sun-dials. We went armed with Guy Points's Cumbria Gazetteer, and found all the stones he mentioned.

St Oswald's Church (Dean) submitted by SumDoood on 7th Mar 2018. The church is a most unusual and, I'd suggest, attractive building, C12th in origin, or older? Enter through the main door and turn right to find the carved boulder a few yards away. Taken 18-02-2018 and viewed from straight ahead.

Log Text: St Oswald's Church (Dean): Having left St Michael and All Angels at Isel, we visited the well in Eaglesfield and tried to find the Singing Well just outside Deanscales. The latter we could see over the hedge, but were unable to gain access to the field it sits in from the road. Parking by the lych gate of the church, walking along the southern side of the church, the preaching cross is easily visible, sitting on what looks like the base of a large market cross, with seven steps. The cross at the top is topped by a 'modern' (18th century) sundial.
We spent some considerable time in the church with the notes provided, tracking and photographing the medieval grave slabs that were visible. Enjoyed this visit.
