A string course of stones set proud of the fabric of the wall, with a simple rectangular moulding over a drooping three-quarter round above a vertical filet.
As noted by Taylor (1989, 14), the string courses which survive above the two easternmost bays of the arcade on both the north and south sides of the nave, facing the central space, are likely to be Anglo-Saxon and appear to be contemporary with the eighth- or ninth-century phase of church building activity that saw the insertion of columns with reeded capitals which articulated the arcading of the main body of the church below (see Repton 20).
