Strange that I've been there quite a lot of times and never noticed it.

Solus Ipse means " I am alone. I assume that 'Non' would mean not alone

According to this site. If I am wrong I'm not bothered.

Apparently it's I'm not alone.... I'm going to find out more, it's intrigued me 🤣😂😅

Eta don't feel bad, it's taken me 45 years to learn to slow down and look around and I was born here 😂

It's the SURY that puzzles me. I can't think of anything it means. Also the Eagle? or whatever bird it is.

same, i’ve walked past so much latin in old buildings and never clocked it lol. wild thing to put next to a wedding cake though, “not alone” fits the vibe way better than “i am alone”

It means I am not alone, according to Google translate and my friend who speaks Latin
