Regia Anglorum - The Language of the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings The sundial from St. Gregory's Minster, Kirkdale in North Yorkshire. The inscription ostentatiously recalls the good works of one Viking, written in Latin, on an Anglo-Saxon church. It translates: 'Orm, Gamal's son, bought St. Gregory's Mynster when it was all broken down and fallen and he let it be made anew from the ground to Christ and to St. Gregory in the days of Edward the King and Tostig the Earl. This is the day's sun marking at each hour. And Haward me wrought and Brand Priest.' From this we can surmise that the previous structure had probably fallen prey to the Danes, and the mention of Tostig dates it to 1066 or a little earlier. It is thought that it is still in it's initial setting. Haward probably carved it with Brand the Priest setting the text.
