Writing about Stow 10 and 11, Brock claimed that 'a small portion of the same pattern, but portion of a stringcourse, is built up in the south aisle wall of St Mary-le-Wigford church'. Though several other fragments are visible in the external face of the south aisle (nos. 2a, 3, 4, 5), no piece with 'Jew's harp' or upright leaf pattern has been noted. A small section of string-course decorated with undulating acanthus trail of twelfth-century type in wall near to south doorway may have been misidentified.
