Sculptured Stone in Yorkshire (West)
St Wilfrid's church at Calverley to the west of Leeds. The church houses a collection of Medieval cross-slabs. But one slab in particular is Anglo-Saxon, possibly from the 7th-10th centuries CE. This has a cross and chalice carved upon it. It once marked the grave of a Saxon priest. The slabs stand against the chancel wall, and were brought inside the church in 1977 for safety and preservation.
