A homeowner is searching for answers after an obscure inscription was found written underneath a stone slab in his garden patio.
Builders made the discovery while working on the 300-year-old home of John Adams in Norbury, Shropshire.
Mr Adams shared a photograph on social media to try to work out what the text might say with several people suggesting it was in Hebrew.
...
Mr Adams, who works for the National Trust, said his house was located on a road that was once a major travelling route.
"It was an inn previously. It was also a pub," he said. "Maybe it was [written by] somebody who happened to be passing through or staying here."
...
Experts at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have been contacted to see if they can translate the stone.
