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

Smith (H. E. 1875, 91) recorded that a stone was found by the sexton 'many years ago' with 'great scrawning letters which nobbudy [sic] could read'. This was taken to the rector's garden; it is no longer forthcoming. There is no reason to believe that it dated to the Anglo-Saxon period, and may have been an inscribed post-Conquest grave-cover similar to that found in the 1874 restoration of the church (Bidlake 1936).
