Description

The Rev. G. Maughan, former vicar of East Kirkby 1857–93 and for a period priest-in-charge of Miningsby, refers to his supposition that 'a similar stone' [sc. to Miningsby 1] was built into the north wall of the chancel (Maughan 1892–3, 157).

Discussion

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

Maughan's comment may refer to a slab of fine-grained oolitic limestone that was visible in the north-east quoin of the chancel before the church's demolition, but showed no decoration on its visible edges, which looked recut. It is said to have been put aside and inspected during the demolition and found to be entirely undecorated. The comment may alternatively refer to Miningsby 2, which, however, was not built in when drawn for the Ross collection (Ill. 303).
