Description: | An Anglo-Saxon sculptured slab from Northorpe is now in Durham Cathedral. {1}{2}
A portion of a tomb-slab or cross shaft 3 feet 2 inches long by 11 inches wide and now 5 inches thick, found in one of the walls of the old hall and now preserved in the cathedral library at Durham. The face has two rows of figure-of-eight interlacements with two free rings or circles at one end; one edge has a cable-moulding but the other edge and the back have been cut away. {3}
Pevsner and the SMR card indicate that the sculpture was from Northorpe church (SK895972). Davies says it was from the old hall and this is more likely (SK89609694). {1}{2}{3} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 800 - 1065 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
