Appendix C (Lost stones for which no illustration has survived)

Nothing has been found in visits to the church and no one at the church has any knowledge of a decorated stone. The Barber reference ((–––) 1874, 226) in fact shows that the Sheffield congress party alighted at Shepley station, but that the cross-head referred to was that of Kirkburton 1 (p. 183 above), and that the later reference was in error. This error is repeated in Faull 1981, 215, 222 fn. 58.
