Roman altar stone
This stone is a copy of a Roman original found in the River Wharfe. The copy was made for William Middleton (or Middelton or Myddelton) in 1603 and the inscription at the right-hand side says this.
The main inscription is:
VERBEIAE SACRUM
CLODIUS FRONTO PRAEF COH II LINGON
This translates as "Sacred to Verbeia"
and "Clodius Fronto prefect of the second Cohort of Lingonians" had it set up.
Most opinion is that Verbeia was the river goddess of the Wharfe.
The stone was originally kept at Myddelton Lodge but was erected here a few years ago.
