Carved Stone Fragment, 25 Metres South Of Neasham Hill

The carved stone fragment, located 25 metres south of Neasham Hill, is a Grade II listed structure. This fragment, possibly from the 12th century, features a representation of the Crucifixion and was originally part of the wall of Neasham Hill before being relocated to its current position around 1983. It is made of sandstone and measures 0.75 metres high, resting on a late 20th-century stone base. The front displays worn figures in relief depicting the Crucifixion of Christ, while the rear shows a draped figure. The sides feature a pilgrim, possibly, with a staff and part of a Latin inscription. It is believed that this fragment was removed from the ruins of Neasham Abbey, a Benedictine nunnery founded around 1156.
