Thank you to @CMoML for loaning their #MiltonShield to #RunningIntFells 🛡
It was the prize for an annual Border Regiment #Cumbrian fell race between local cadet units 🏃♂️
And... that's all we know! Do you know when/where & how long the fell race was? Please get in touch📲
ALT An elaborate metal shield depicting scenes from John Milton's Paradise Lost on a white wall in The Armitt museum. The metal looks silver, and is mounted on a wooden base, with gold gothic letters which read: The Kings Own Royal Border Regiment Fell Race
ALT A close up of the shield's central panel, which shows the Archangel Raphael telling Adam and Eve of the war in heaven. Raphael stands on the lift in heavenly robes, wings on his back, telling the story to Adam and Eve, sat naked on a rock, opposite the angel, in the Garden of Eden
ALT A detail on the shield, showing an armoured angel holding a sword and standing on a cowering devil
ALT A close up of the gothic script on the top of the wooden base the shield rests on
