Description: | A Medieval stone (Reigate stone) fragment from a monument, probably from an ecclesiastic or monastic context (AD13th - 14th century). The fragment is from the corner of a monument with two sides decorated with carved tracery. The two sides are set at approximately 120ยบ forming a facetted surface. Another side is covered in tool marks suggesting it abutted either a wall or another piece of stone. The final side is a rough broken surface. The carved decoration is the same on both surfaces - a long, narrow, rectangular panel with an internal arch with two cusps forming a scalloped edge. The side that is adjacent to the tooled surface only has the left side of the arch and there is a line of dark pigment (possibly) along the inner length of the arch upright. At the top of this side where the stone is broken there is a regular rectangular possible tool mark (possibly a chisel). This may be from when the monument was broken up. Dimensions: diameter: mm; length: 183.15mm; width: 114.58mm; thickness: 69.92mm; weight: 937.7g.Identified by John Schofield Senior Curator - Architecture, Museum of London
