Description
This is a sepulchral slab located 1 metre east of the south aisle of the Church of St. Peter, dating from the late 11th century or 12th century. Made of sandstone, the slab tapers and features a relief design within a raised border, although the head has been broken away. It displays an expanded-arm cross rising from a triangular base, with shears to the right and stylised angular knotwork to the left. Above the cross, there is the lower part of an animal, possibly a rampant lion, which may represent the lion of de Insula, similar to a slab found at the Church of St. Andrew. This piece exhibits an unusual combination of Pre-Conquest stylistic influence alongside medieval heraldry.
