Appendix B item (Stones wrongly associated with pre-Conquest period)
This cross-shaft, now in the porch under the west tower, previously stood on the south side of the church. Its stone type matches that of the Barnburgh 2 shaft above (p. 286). Each angle has a chamfer ornamented with bosses (compare Thrybergh, below), and two faces have sunken foliage patterns with pellets at the top. Another has a raised zigzag and two small bosses. Baldwin Brown (1937, 147) said of this shaft, as of Thrybergh and Barnburgh 2, that it was 'obviously Saxonic', but no feature suggests a date earlier than the second half of the twelfth century.
