Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived)

Star Chamber proceedings, endorsed in 1614,[1] record the destruction of '3 other ancient crosses erected and made of squared stone with diverse costly and curious works wrought in and upon the same in the churchyard of Barrow, Eccleston and Christleton'. The description might suggest that these were pre-Norman crosses.
