Undecorated springers composed (according to Taylor and Taylor 1965, fig. 249 dd) of two stones: a separate roll moulding below a flat rectangular strip.
22c. Upper Springers
Undecorated springers, unrecorded profile
The imposts and string courses at the west end of the chancel (north and south), and at the angles of the east wall of the Anglo-Saxon central space of the nave, along with the lower springers north and south of the chancel, at the top of the east wall, and the upper springers at the north-east and south-east upper angles of the east wall of the chancel, together represent the remains of the upper parts of the east end of the lateral north and south porticus re-erected following damage by the Viking army in 873–4. The lower springers may have been those from which rose the east ends of gables forming the north and south faces of the upper parts of the lateral north and south porticus, as erected (or re-erected) following the damage suffered during the later ninth century, while the upper springers are probably those from which rose (and to some extent still does rise) a gable wall over the east end of the chancel, erected (or re-erected) at the same time (Taylor 1987, 243, Phase 4b).
