Carved Stone, 70 West Port.
A panel bearing the insignia of the Cordiners' Incorporation has been inserted for preservation above the entrance to the modern tenement at this address. In its two upper corners there are cherub's heads, while lower down a hand issues from either side and supports a garland enclosing a rounding-knife surmounted by a crown. The lowest part of the panel is occupied by a cartouche with a foliaceous border interrupted by grotesque heads. The cartouche is inscribed with the initial verse of Psalm cxxxiii, followed by the date A.D. 1696. The text runs as follows:
BEHOLD HOW GOOD A THING IT IS, / AND HOW
BECOMING WELL, /
TOGETHER SUCH AS BRETHERN ARE / IN UNITY TO
DWELL.
