Appendix B item (stones wrongly associated with pre-Conquest period)

Part of slab. Built into the seat of the Early English sedilia on the south side of the chancel; worn and covered by lime-wash. First recorded by Wallis (1921, 12). The one visible face carries an incised cross-shaft, with pointed foot to the west, which leads into a worn circular cross-head, from which one circular spandrel survives. Post-Conquest slabs from Ryal, Northumberland, offer possible parallels (Ryder 2000, figs. 26, 27).
