All Saints (Barmston) submitted by cavers35 : Hogsback stone inside the church (Vote or comment on this photo)
Sculptured Stone in Yorkshire (East)

All Saints church at Barmston is located east of the A165 road some 6 miles south of Bridlington - at the west side of the village along Sands Lane and then just down the track leading southwards for a short distance.

In the porch stands part of a 9th-10th century sandstone hogback tomb that has some Anglo/Norse carvings. This piece of stone was housed in the rectory until 1996. Many of these richly carved hogback tomb stones are usually dated to AD 875-1066.
