Description
The eastern face of the westernmost cross in the group of three at the west end of the north aisle (described as '20' in the Church Guide'). This face also shows two panels, the top being a mounted warrior, the lower intertwined beasts. The Church Guide says "it may be that it is a cross set up by a newly converted Dane depicting pagans and Christian themes, perhaps trying to make sure of entry into at least one afterworld".
