Structure
A slab of light buff sandstone set against the internal face of the west wall of the C19 north porch, 1.83m x 0.49m x 0.41m. The base is missing and the right side partly cut away. The slab has an incised design, straight arm cross with cusped arms (like a slab at All Saints Church, Sockburn, County Durham) and fleur-de-lys terminals of fairly late form. The assymetry of the head also suggests a quite late date. On the left of the broad cross shaft is a key. Later C14 or C15.
