Reused (with no. 11) for Romanesque panel of Christ in Majesty at north-west end of nave

None; twelfth-century Christ in Majesty was first recorded in the late eighteenth century, and first published in Horsefield 1835, when it was in the north transept; in nave by 1898, though had apparently been outside at some time (André 1898)

St Mary

The lower and left-hand edges have been trimmed flat, the upper edge roughly broken, and the upper right-hand corner lost.

It is rectangular. The decorative face is divided by two arcs of a circle, each composed of a triple roll moulding, which touch close to the lower edge of the panel. The arc to the left is the shorter. Within the one to the right are two thick, half-round plant stems. That to the right develops from the lower end of the mouldings, and that to the left from the broken edge. The stems curve up and back, and are linked where they touch by a collar. Each terminates in a pair of tight, outward-facing scrolls. The other end of the left-hand stem emerges from the far side of the arc where it is linked by a collar to the similar stem emerging from the adjacent arc. Each stem then curves up and back to terminate in a tight inward-facing scroll. From each stem develops two upward pointing subsidiary stems. Each terminates in an inward-facing scroll which touches its neighbours. Within the left-hand arc a plant stem emerges from the lower end of the mouldings, but is cut off by the trimming of the lower edge of the panel. Above it, developing from the trimmed edge to the left, is a pair of tight outward-facing scrolls.
