None. The church was very heavily restored in 1870 (Bonser 1904, 2), but it is not clear whether the stone reported by Butler (1952, 29) emerged during restoration. Stretton drew four interesting later medieval slabs from Skegby in the early nineteenth century (Robertson 1910, 52), but none of these accords with the description offered by Butler.

St Andrew

Lawrence Butler reported a grave-cover decorated with an incised cross, whose head took the form of a Greek cross within a circle (1952, 29). He compared the monument with the stone from Elston Chapel (p. 211 above), but we were also unable to find that monument during our visit.

Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived).

The monument described by Butler at Skegby and its comparison with that from Elston Chapel would suggest a monument decorated with an equal-armed cross (perhaps Corpus type A1) set within a circle, and it could therefore have been a Corpus item. The type of cross-head Butler envisaged here may have resembled the one he drew, somewhat imperfectly, at Stallingborough, Lincolnshire (Everson and Stocker 1999, 291–2, ill. 427), and which is also found (though with a cross-head type B6) on a cover at Gainford, co. Durham (Cramp 1984, 153, pl. 152.796). Without any known image, however, or knowledge of the form of the cross-stem and foot, it is hard to estimate its date. It might have been of the twelfth century.

Eleventh or twelfth century?
