Complete mid-wall shaft of slightly bulbous profile, in one stone. Either end is formed in a similar profile with a single roll and bell-shaped or conical expansion, but slightly asymmetrically, having a broader base than cap. Around the centre of its girth is a group of three rolls of slightly irregular execution.
See Barton-upon-Humber 2. As with the double windows at a lower level, the date of the shafts at the belfry stage is given by the combined architectural and archaeological evidence for the date of the turriform nave, to whose original belfry Barton-Upon-Humber 4–6 belonged. This is said to be late tenth century in construction (Rodwell and Rodwell 1982). This belfry stage was superseded by a higher addition of the mid to late eleventh century (ibid., 302; Rodwell 1986, 171).
