    A memeber on the other, other forum asked why some of the lettering is in upper case.

    We cracked it, thought i'd let you lot have a go at it too :)

    No sneaky looking on the other forum though :nonofinger::biggrin: DSCI0022.JPG

                        No idea why they encoded a date that was written in English just above it, but seemed a bit of a coincidence :noidea:

                          By my reckoning the Roman numerals stand for the date 1549, possibly the date the tower was built?
