St Mary’s, Great Dunmow, Essex
In terms of protective marks there are several merels in the south chancel window and a scattering of pentagrams and Marian marks throughout the church.
[Not a valid template]The triple sedilia in the chancel holds a deeply carved little cross and a few examples of faint script.
[Not a valid template]The aisle column in the south chapel is a palimpset of several deeply carved graffiti. There are two mysterious symbols there. One of them, a line with 3 crossing lines, appears in the Sefer Raziel HaMalakh grimoire. This may mean that it had a magical significance for the person who carved it. There is another repeated symbol of a curved line above with a vertical line under it. I have never seen this symbol before and further research is needed to see if it also has some meaning to its appearance here.

The column also carries dot patterns and crosses with dot terminals.
[Not a valid template]The rest of the graffiti in the church is made up of other marks, unidentified marks and names or initials. Any dates are mostly 19th and 20th century.
