Description
Documented as Newbiggin 2: "Northernmost of the two slabs at the east end of the north aisle.
Another relief-carved slab of coarser brown sandstone, the cross slightly less elaborate than on (Newbiggin 1) but here acanthus leaves are carved all round the edge of the stone; further foliage springing from the shaft and within the ogee-arched base; on the left of the shaft shears and a pair of keys. Late twelfth century? Cutts illustrates this stone (1849, pl. XLII), taking his plate from Charlton (1848, fp253) and Boutell (1849, 91) only."
