Appendix B item (stones wrongly associated with pre-Conquest period)

Decorated soffit roll, on a high bracket in the north chapel, first recorded in 1910 ((—) 1908–11, 164). The stone is covered with fine gridded, median-incised interlace, continuing off both ends. This is almost certainly part of the now lost twelfth-century doorway, from which came the rather fine St George tympanum and the figured voussoirs that are reset in the north wall and above the vestry doorway.
