The main decorated face depicts a pair of creatures, possibly birds, facing each other.

Between them is a small circular disc with concentric incised inner ring and visible centre point. Below this is circular form that could represent the Sun. Under this are two men facing each other. One appears to be grasping the hilt of a of a sword as if to draw it from its scabbard. Below these is the figure of a bearded horseman.

The stone is located in the nave and not in the churchyard. You would only be able to see it when the church is open. There are a couple of pictures on the internet but these are all copyright.

In St Oswald's Church, Crowle, a 10th century Saxon/Northumbrian cross-shaft. It is also referred to as The Runic Stone. The shaft has, on one side, a runic inscription, while on the front-side two rather ugly looking characters seem to be eyeing each other up! Other decoration includes a grinning face and, above that, what are probably two flying creatures.
