subject: Runes
description: This runic inscription can be found in the covered exterior passage, on the fourth wall-board to the right of the south portal. The inscription consists of five runes, two of which, according to Professor Magnus Olsen, may be disregarded as mere decorative flourish. What remains are the runes for MRN - which can be interpreted to mean: Maria 1242. The church was consecrated on the 25th of October, and dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
