Extract

Attention was drawn recently (Antiq. Journ. xxi, 1941, 158–61) to a sword of derivative Viking type depicted on an effigy in Furness Abbey, Lancs. The effigy is one of a group of related late thirteenth- and early fourteenth-century monuments, of which the majority are recorded from Co. Durham. Another sword of this form has since come to notice in a similar context. The freestone effigy on which it appears is preserved in the Priory Church of Cartmel, which lies some ten miles to the east of Furness Abbey.
