Marriage Lintel, Falkland
This inscription above the door of Moncrief House
NO2507 : Moncrief House, Falkland is a marriage lintel. There are two sets of initials: NM (Nicoll Moncrief) and AO (unknown) and the date 1610. That date may refer to the date the couple were married or the date they moved into the house. This is one of several examples of marriage lintels in Falkland not all of which are still in their original positions since it was once common for materials from a derelict house to be reused in the construction of a new building.
