Appendix B item (stones wrongly associated with pre-Conquest period)
Panel set in the wall above and to the north of the chancel arch; discovered in 1897 on the removal of plaster. The carving consists of a roundel in low relief depicting the Agnus Dei (the Lamb of God) with the cross held awkwardly in one bent-back front foot. The Lamb's right rear leg is interlocked with the border. There is some delineation of the hip and shoulder joints. It has been suggested (pers. comm.) that the three carved panels at this church (nos. 1–3) might be eleventh century in date, possibly pre-Conquest, but the present author accepts the more generally accepted date of twelfth century.
