Appendix B item (stones wrongly associated with pre-Conquest period)
Fragment of a capital or possibly an altar with the figure of an angel, set halfway up a cellar wall facing onto the street below the shop at 50 Mardol. Found in the 1990s together with other recycled carved stones in the masonry walls of the cellar (Baker 2010, 92). Broken sections from an Anglo-Saxon string-course have also been reused in these walls (nos. 1–3, p. 311, Ills. 557–9), and it is likely all this material came originally from Old St Chad church. No. 4 is probably thirteenth or fourteenth century in date.
