Showing in west and south faces of pillar. See no. 1.

Raine (1852) records that about eighteen fragments of sculpture found by Mr. Gilly in 1833 in investigating foundations of building in churchyard a few paces from east end of present church. Fragments built up into pillar by time of note in (-) 1869-79c, and possibly before Stuart (1867), whose plates show only faces now visible [1]. Pillar originally in churchyard: Allen and Browne 1885, 351; (-) 1889-90d, 243; Tomlinson 1891, 551. Removed indoors c. 1891: (-) 1891-2b, 49-54; Hodges 1893, 85. Very few fragments described before Stuart.

St Cuthbert

Damaged and worn

A (broad): Possibly type D9. Surrounded by a wavering outer flat-band and inner roll moulding enclosing interlace: possibly closed circuit half pattern F crossed by double diagonal strands ending in U-bend terminals.

B (narrow): Only the outer flat-band and inner roll mouldings survive.

The stone type is the same as 11, but the different dimensions and the form of the moulding demonstrate that this belongs to a different cross. This type of interlace with wide spacing between the strands is very like 6. The pattern is clearly associated with those of 10 and 11.
