Description
Medieval cross slab Dean 1, described in the church notes as: "The upper half of a slab of fine-grained buff sandstone, in the floor, set against the eastern respond of the south arcade [partly hidden by blue partitions which house stacked chairs, so cannot easily be moved]. The cross head seems to have been composed of four circles in place of the conventional arms, set within a ring. Each circle has a six-pointed star within (with sunk panels between the arms); only three are visible, the lower 'arm', if it existed, having been worn away. Below is a cross shaft overlain by a shield, which also overlaps a sword on the right. On the left are traces of an inscription." No date given, but thought to be early medieval.
