M Inscriptions for Etherley, St Cutberts

[Adamand]

Hello Roger. Keep the exercise going and this time look under the yew trees:) If I remember I had a job with this one.
I looked at my transcribing again and saw that it had a verse between Robert and Esther. I do not normally put in the verse
on my postings because it saves time, but here it is.
(Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away)
I thought to myself at the time that is was appropriate because it was in the shade of the tree.
Let me know if you find it.
