Mr. Craig. Surveyor. Mr. Love. writer. Mr. Ewing. Grocer |
015.01 | Mrs John Craig has a very ancient monument in her kail-yard, a stone on which is cut out a man riding on an ass: It is a catholic Croce [crux], and it is a relict of the 12th or 13th Century. This man is called The Dumb Proctor" M.S.S. [Manuscript] of Dr. [Doctor] A Crawfurd, referred to in the N. Stat Acct. [New Statistical Account] Mr. Love, writer, who has devoted a greal of time to attain a knowledge of the antiquities of this parish, & who has many old manuscripts respecting it, informs me that the Dumb Proctor is Conjectured to have been placed on the Crook Hill, during the days of Catholicism, for the people to address their prayers to it. The figures are supposed to represent our Saviour riding to Jeruselem. There were at one time, many saxon letters engraven on it which are now obliterated. The figures are defaced a good deal, but are very discernable. The monument is mounted on a small pedestal & the whole fixed to the wall as quoted above. It is not noticed in the N: Stat: Acc: [New Statistical Account] but I believe reference is made to it in some of the older histories of the Ph [Parish] See Semp[le] |
