![Shown here is a charter issued by King Wihtred (c.670 – 23rd April 725) granting freedom from taxation to the churches and monasteries of Kent, AD 699 [ref. U140/T1]
Dated at Cilling, the witnesses include Archbishop Berhtuuald; Gemmund, Bishop of Rochester; Tobias (Gemmund's successor); and Hadrian, described as 'indignus monachus' – a colleague and advisor of Theodore of Tarsus, a former Archbishop of Canterbury.
This charter was purchased by Sir Albert Stern at Sotheby's in 1946, for presentation to the county. Some information as to its previous history can be gained from its endorsements. It was sold by Messrs Puttick, auctioneers, in 1861 and purchased by Sir Thomas Phillipps. Prior to this it was probably in the Surrenden Dering collection for 200 years – Dering's ownership indicated by marks of a saltire cross in a circle and a Greek letter Delta. An earlier endorsement, possibly dating to the late 12th century, indicates that it was formerly preserved at Christ Church.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o3vof7rjobhzoxvub42zxtot/bafkreihkns4nrw25pllz3hrvso7gkn3llsmyorhowtp2ymdi7xqupvbcgm@jpeg)

Today marks the Feast Day of the great Colmcille (St Columba), so for this edition of our free #MonumentMonday newsletter we take a trip to his homeland of Gartan in County Donegal.
Here we encounter a pilgrimage route and a strange stone known as Leac na Cumha, meaning 'the Stone of Sorrow'.

Beltany Stone Circle • Donegal
Set high on a Donegal hilltop with extensive views over the surrounding landscape, Beltany Stone Circle is one of the places most associated with this time of year, as its name is thought to derive from An Bhealtaine.

Gravestone of Peg, “a Negro Serv’t to Henry Bull Esq’r” who died in 1740 at the age of 6. She is buried in Newport, Rhode Island. The stone appears to have been carved sometime around the late 1710s by John Stevens I, and it bears the faint lettering of an old inscription beneath the current one.

This is what makes #landscape #history so entrancing:
generations of anonymous labour recorded in the soil; farmers ploughing & harvesting these fields, they & their animals wearing down the footpath, c.2000yrs ago.
Over a millennium later, shepherds folding their sheep on these abandoned fields.
