Not found

Apart from a brief reference to 'traces of Saxon work' (Kelly 1897, 45), and Scarth's more specific statement that 'Saxon remains are found here, fixed in the boundary-wall of the churchyard' (Scarth 1887, 129), the clearest reference to a second fragment at Brignall came from the Rev. W. Oliver. 'Built into the wall of the bridge leading from the Church to the former Rectory, is a stone which may have been a portion of a cross shaft of pre-Conquest date. Its carving is of the crudest description' (Oliver 1943, 7). Subsequently P. F. Ryder identified this as being 'a stone with a roughly-incised pattern of diagonally intersecting lines within a rectangular panel', which was lying outside the south wall of the nineteenth-century church in 1969, possibly brought from the old rectory (Ryder [1986], 4). Neither stone can be found now.

Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived).

Oliver's description does not provide enough information for meaningful discussion, and Ryder's report gives no more evidence for a pre-Conquest date. The stones in the boundary wall noted by Scarth may be those of medieval or uncertain date recorded by Ryder ([1986], 4), and Coggins and Fairless (1995–6, 4).
