Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived)
Earwaker (1877–80, i, 185) described the discovery in 1875 of the 'upper part' of a now-lost shaft, which he compared to the stones now in Macclesfield Park (see Sutton Ridge Hall, nos. 1–3). The seeming presence of a second stone is confirmed by Moss (1894, 7–8). Earwaker's description suggests that the stone was a round-shaft. If so, then its seeming non-ecclesiastical find-spot follows the normal pattern for such monuments in Cheshire (see Chapter V, p. 36). As argued under Cheadle 1 above, however, this shaft may have represented the lower section of a cross-shaft of type g/h whose rectangular upperworks survive as Cheadle 1 (Ills. 70–4; see p. 61).
