Appendix B item (Stones wrongly associated with pre-Conquest period)
A small panel with a Crucifixion scene, now in the north wall of the chancel of St Luke and All Saints church, Darrington (SE 486203), was found built into the inner face of the wall in front of Far Park House (Holmes 1891, 23). Rice (1952, 101) believed this to be Anglo-Saxon, or at least eleventh century, but Holmes (1891, 23) correctly dated it to the late twelfth or thirteenth centuries because of the ball-flower decoration around the cross. The feet of Christ are described by Rice as separated, but they are damaged and could be crossed, a factor also suggesting a thirteenth-century date.
