	Illustrated Guide to Places to Visit - Ruthwell Church and its Cross
		The Ruthwell Cross is one of the oldest Preaching Crosses in Europe, and was first raised on the Solway towards the end of the 7th century.
		The Ruthwell Cross carried a series of unique images from Caedmon's poem 'The Lay of the Holy Rood', but the General Assembly seems to have misunderstood their origins, and linked the cross with the Church of Rome.
		The minister at Ruthwell, the Rev. Gavin Young, was not able to openly defy the edict of the Assembly, but initially sought to protect the cross by ignoring the Act.

	Henry Duncan - Father of Savings Banks
		He was a talented artist whose drawings skilfully capture the Ruthwell of his time ~ and a fine writer, who founded two excellent local newspapers; not for narrow parochial reporting, but to broaden the knowledge of his people by bringing world events to his remote corner of Scotland.
		He was invited to take a prayer meeting at Cockpool near Ruthwell in February 1846 when he was seventy-one, and there is something deeply touching in the knowledge that his religious work was to end in the parish where it had begun.
		The graphic of the cash box used at Ruthwell is by Alister Lynn, the drawing of the boat on the Solway is by Rev Duncan himself, and the World Savings Bank Institute logo is copyright of WSBI.

	Ruthven - Ruthwell \| British History Online
		RUTHWELL, a parish, in the county of Dumfries; containing, with the village of Clarencefield, 1032 inhabitants, of whom 162 are in the village of Ruthwell, 7½ miles (W. by N.) from Annan.
		This parish was called Ryval in the 14th century, in a charter by Thomas Randolph, Earl of Murray, to his nephew, Sir William Murray; and the appellation is continued in all the charters to Sir William's descendants.
		Ruthwell, most probably corrupted from Ruthwald, or Rithwald, is a more modern name, and appears to be derived from the Anglo-Saxon Rith, "a rivulet," and Weald or Wald, "a woody place;" terms descriptive of the locality through which a rivulet passes contiguous to the church and village, and in which there are extensive natural woods.

	Hilda and CÆdmon: The Dream of the Rood
		At Bewcastle and at Ruthwell stand seventh-century Anglo-Saxon preaching crosses, the first celebrating peace-weaving marriages between Christian and pagan Anglo-Saxon kings and queens, the second having on it, in Anglo-Saxon runes, the poem of 'The Dream of the Rood'.
		Ruthwell, just across the border in Scotland, was only under Anglo-Saxon control until A.D. 'The Dream of the Rood' is likely Cædmon's composition.
		Other scenes on the Ruthwell Cross emphasize women, the Visitation, where we see Mary greeting Elizabeth, the penitent woman anointing Christ's feet, washing them with her tears, drying them with her hair (who was not in this period associated with Mary Magdalen), the Annunciation to Mary by the Angel, and the Flight into Egypt.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The apparent near-completeness of early medieval icons (such as the so-called Ruthwell Cross and its runic inscription, and the so-called Drosten Stone) is questioned.
		Duncan believed that the sides of the Ruthwell monument, containing the vinescroll and the runic inscription, were of early date and not from Ruthwell, and that the sculpture on the faces had been added at Ruthwell at the same (still early medieval) time as the upper portion which constituted the cross.
		Duncan goes on to suggest that an architectural fragment found at Ruthwell might have been the base of Repp's putative font and placed in front of the cross, since 'in Roman Catholic countries such an arrangement is far from being uncommon'.

	Walk #443: Powfoot to Dumfries
		Ruthwell was quite a nice little village, with the white houses shining brightly in the sunshine.
		The apse of Ruthwell church has a seventh-century cross in it, and I would not have minded seeing this, but unfortunately the church is about a kilometre north of the village and not on my route.
		Turn left and follow this road westwards for a couple of kilometres until the farm is reached at Priestside, where it turns to the right to head northwards for a little over a kilometre.

	Hilda and Caedmon: The Dream of the Rood (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The elements comprising the Ruthwell Cross and that at Bewcastle, as well as the famous poem in runes sculpted upon Ruthwell, seem to come from all the cultural elements present at Iona, Whitby, Lindisfarne and Jarrow, to be a glorious mixture of Irish, Anglo-Saxon, and Byzantine styles, to be a truly cosmopolitan gathering.
		Ruthwell stand seventh-century Anglo-Saxon preaching crosses, the first celebrating peace-weaving marriages between Christian and pagan Anglo-Saxon kings and queens, the second having on it, in
		The poem in runes on the Ruthwell Cross is the first written religious poem and prayer in English we have today (Bede's version of Cædmon's Creation Hymn is in Latin translation, not its Anglo-Saxon original), and, like the Hymn to the Creation, it is similarly a dream vision.
