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

Fragmentary slab. This shows the lower part of a bare-footed figure who is wearing mass vestments, consisting of long decorated alb and overlying pointed chasuble with a central bar of decoration up the front. To the right of the feet is a raised flat band carrying an inscription in capitals of which only 'ME' now survives. Though previously claimed as of Anglo-Saxon date the style of cutting is distinctly Norman and it has therefore been included within the British Academy's Romanesque Corpus.
