ISTA ECCLESIA SIT IN HONORE DOMINI NOSTRI IESU CHRISTI ET SANCTI SEPULCHRI.
That's the text above the men, and it means : 
This church was made in the honour of Jesus Christ and the Holy Sepulcre.

It's the only church in Scandinavia that is dedicated to the grave of Jesus Christ, in Jerusalem ! Below the men is just the alphabet.... Point at the pictures to see other ones.
All of these "pictures" are early medieval ones. They were made by an unknown master, who also made these in Skara. The picture to the right is thought to show the devil, who has finally been captured and tied to a pole.
