Pictures of Escomb Saxon Church - Roman inscription

Escomb Saxon Church Roman inscription
Under the lip of stone in this photo is a Roman inscription.(upside down, which indicates that the Saxon builders wee not in the slightest concerned about the antiquity of the Roman remains, they simply used them as readily available building materials). The inscription reads LEG VI' (6th Legion). Due to the effects of weathering only the numeral VI can be seen clearly.
