This Latin inscription may be the earliest evidence of Christianity in northern Britain. It reads ROTAS OPERA TENET AREPO SATOR or 'Arepo the sower guides the plough with care'. The words read the same from left to right and right to left, as well as up and down. When re-arranged the letters form the words 'Pater Noster' or 'Our Father' in the shape of a cross. The words are the start of the Christian Lord's Prayer. The wordsquare might have shown someone's faith at a time when Christians were being oppressed by the Roman authorities. Others, however, think that the wordsquare is simply a word puzzle! Manchester Museum, Manchester, North West England.

Invader (born 1969) is a French urban artist who pastes up characters from and inspired by the 1978 arcade game Space Invaders game, made up of small coloured square mosaic tiles that form a space invader character mural. He does this in cities across the world, then documents this as an "Invasion", with books and maps of where to find each invader. This could just be the work of an imitator. Manchester, North West England.
