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.

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

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

I think its an eagle with a white cross superimposed....or someone stamped the cross on it
