Overview

See Stainton 3 (St Peter and St Paul). First noted by C. D. Morris, 1976.
Church Dedication

Description

There is a damaged and very rough perimeter moulding. The panel is occupied by a disorganised ring-twist with loops on the long humped strands. The strands are doubled. Adjacent to the ring is a plain lobe-shaped area.

Discussion

This could be part of the same shaft as no. 5. The straggling ring-twist, uncarved internal areas and uncontrolled loops are shared by both pieces.

Date
First half of tenth century
