The Stone

The Crowle Stone is the remains of an Anglo-Saxon cross at the back of the Church of England parish church of St Oswald at Crowle, Lincolnshire.[1][2]

This was originally carved as a cross shaft and until 1919 it was used as a lintel over the west door.[1][2] The preservation of the stone is almost certainly as a result of the Norman masons reusing it when the church was built in 1150.[3]

The stone measures Шаблон:Convert in height Шаблон:Convert thick and Шаблон:Convert wide.

The stone is ornately carved on all three sides. At the bottom of one face there is a runic inscription which would date the cross shaft as being before 950 as the use of runes had almost completely died out by then.
