Life ???

Scriviner vault

The Scriviner vault has a number of inscribed panels. Several appear unused, but the top, front and right-hand panel are inscribed, though only the top panel is entirely legible. The front panel is almost completely illegible except for one or two words, while the right-hand panel yields only a name and place of residence, John Scrivinor of Fenchuch Street, London. The presumption is that they refer to different members of the same family, but this cannot be confirmed at this time.

Top panel: John and Ann Scriviner
