Here at the VÄXJÖ Cathedral

- English Translation
Tóki (?) Raised the stone in memory of Gunnar, Grim's son. May God help his soul! Took the viking.
Apparently, this stone was hidden in the wall until the 1800's.
What a cool thing to discover hidden beneath the surface of what there is to see with the eyes.
I especially enjoy the Braille breakdown of the Rune Stone on the right-side of the placard. It feels mildly ironic for some reason!
I think you can click on the image and zoom in if you care to read the plaque in full.
