Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived).
Of the surviving stones, only Thornton Steward 2 has scrollwork, on the narrow faces adjacent to figural carving (Ills. 793–6). The primitive ornament on Thornton Steward 5 (Ills. 807–11) might possibly have been described as scrollwork in the mid-nineteenth century, but its predominant motif is a Crucifixion. There is no evidence for the discovery of either stone, but only nos. 1 and 4 were recorded by Collingwood in 1907. It is therefore possible that the fragments noted by Barker were disposed of by the vicar, who evidently had no interest in antiquarian matters.
