Bjudby

Þorsteinn and Eysteinn and Náttfari raised the stone in memory of Finnviðr and Óleifr (and) Þorkell, their brothers. (They) were all Víkingr's sons, men born to land(ed property), (who) had the stone erected. Steinkell carved the runes.

A tall and beautiful rune stone with much text on it, as well as a serpent and a cross. For a close-up : point at the picture.

Þorsteinn had this stone raised in memory of himself and his son Hefnir. The young valiant man travelled to England; then died grievously at home. May God help their souls. Brúni and Slóði, they carved this stone.

200 years ago this rune stone was blown to pieces, but later it got mended and raised again. It stands almost three meter tall, and if you point at the picture you'll see close-ups of it.

These rune stones are standing about 200 meters apart in Bjudby, which is situated 30 km north-west of Nyköping.
