OS1/11/52/23 Hi seross, I have corrected the first object for you so you can see how it should be set out. The entries may not look as if they line up properly, even when editing. But if you stretch the boxes diagonally down at the corners, text entered with a return at end of each line should line up . This is important with 'various modes of spelling' and 'Authorities'. 'Description remarks should be free running. If I haven't explained this very well please get back to me on forum. Do another couple of pages and then request a review, that is the best way to learn by your mistakes. It is much better learning the correct way to do things from the start, it is more satisfying for transcribers and ensures that Moderators can spend less time and effort correcting the same errors over and over again, that is very time consuming.

[civilian assistant] Plan 19 A Trace 3 *If it was erected by the Templars at all. it must have been previous to the battle of Bannockburn. as the order was expelled the Kingdom shortly after that battle - at the east end are two figures, said to represent lambs. there was another of the same kind inside above one of the windows. but was taken away by Some Antiquarian some years ago. As the figure of the lamb was invariably used by the Templar's. in ornamenting there places of Worship and as all there Churches Were dedicated to the Virgin perhaps the following translation of the letters under the belfry will assist in Settling the period of its erection.
