The Loki Stone, Kirkby Stephen
The Loki Stone is an 8th century carved representation of the Norse God Loki, bound and chained. It is one of only two known carvings of this type in Europe, and the only one in Britain. We do not know how the stone came to be in Kirkby Stephen, but it serves to remind us of the Norse influence in this region during prior to the Norman invasion of 1066.
We do not know where the stone was originally located. It has been moved several times over the centuries, and for many years it sat amongst a collection of old gravestones outside the east end of St Stephen's church, open to the elements. Thankfully, it has now found a home inside the church, immediately opposite the south door, where it can be instantly seen by visitors on entering.
The Loki Stone
The stone is about 1 metre high, and rectangular in shape. It has been dated variously between the 8th and 10th centuries, but the most commonly accepted date is sometime in the 8th century. One aspect of the carving that I've not seen discussed anywhere is that it continues over the top of the stone. That is, the figure of Loki is on the surface facing you as you view the stone, yet the carving continues over onto the top of the stone, as if the vertical surface was not large enough to convey all that the sculptor wished to show. The sides of the stone are carved with a simple interlaced geometric pattern.

Dear Don,
It’s weird, isn’t it…how driving a straight road is mind-numbing, boring and sends you to sleep on more levels than one, while walking the old straight tracks just frees the mind and lets it roam… Perhaps it is to do with walking the earth… the physical relationship between the physical body and the planetary body that makes the difference…

Dear Don: ‘Old-Man-Young’
Dear Don,
Perhaps that’s why they are ‘authorities’… a tramline train of thought instead of spreading root and branch…
You know, I think you are right about that being the ‘young James’ weekend… which would indeed give us our ‘three’… and it was definitely a very odd ‘close encounter’, giving a whole new meaning to the title of ‘Old-Man-Young’.
Does that count as a ‘time-slip’, do you think, or a…
