Documentary Evidence
Cramp (1984, 251) cites a reference by Honeyman (1932, 99) to a possible Anglo-Saxon slab carved with a pattern "in imitation of sea waves" that was formerly found at the north door of St. Nicholas's church, Newcastle. Both Bourne (1736) and Brand (1789) mention this stone, but it has not been seen in modern times.
