Summary

Description

Part of a rather crudely-carved Anglo-Saxon cross-shaft, re-used as a grave marker at St Peter's church, Creeton, Lincolnshire, UK. There are many sections of badly eroded interlace carving built into the walls of the church (see [1] ), and a fine example of an Anglo-Saxon, Mid Kesteven type of grave cover (now standing upright – see [2] ).

This cross-shaft does not appear in CRSBI (The Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture in Britain and Ireland).
