'A fragment of Saxon work ... carved with a serpentine animal with large gills like an eel' (Longstaffe 1852). 'In the chancel floor is a fragment of a Saxon tombstone, on which is carved a serpentine figure with large gills, perhaps the Midgardsworm of northern mythology' (Bulmer 1890).
Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived).
Not noted by any writer since 1908. The floor of the chancel was subsequently relaid, having been rebuilt and extended in the thirteenth century (Green 1977, 7). Possibly a Romanesque or later carving.
