Fiddleford Mill Inscription

Dated 1566, this inscription is inset into the wall of the C18 watermill at Fiddleford. Dedicated to a former miller, a translation reads:

' He that wyll have here any thynge don
Let him com friendly he shal be welcom
A frynd to the owner and enemy to no man
Pass all here freely to com when they can
For the tale of trothe I do always professe
Miller be true disgrace not thy vest
If falsehood appere the fault shal be thine
And of sharpe ponishment think me not unkind
Therefore to be true yt shall the behove
[to] please god chefly [that liveth] above. '
