GB - Abergele (Küstenort an der Irischen See in N.-Wales, County Borough). Zu arrow marks (wörtl. Pfeilspuren, gemeint sind unsere Wetzrillen)an der dortigen Parish Church St. Michael steht in der u.a. Quelle: "The north and south aisles (= Seitenschiffe) of the church are separated by an arcade of pillars and at least two of these have deep vertical grooves. Cromwell's solders are said to have occupied the church during the civil war of 1642-1649 and the marks are thought to be cuts made by the soldiers sharpening their swords by pushing the blades downwards against the sandstone pillar."
