Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived)
Browne (1887a, 12–13), commenting on links between Whalley and Bolton, noted: 'a small fragment at Bolton, which I did not mention and do not shew, which has a horizontal section closely resembling that on the fragment set on the top of the shaft at Whalley, with a raised bar passing up the centre of each edge. This Bolton fragment, by the way, I believe has been elaborately sculptured all over with minute interlacements'. This description does not resemble any part of the surviving Bolton le Moors 1, but could have offered a parallel for the vertical mouldings found on Whalley 2 and 3 (Ills. 672, 674, 676, 678). Scholes (1892, 83) equated this piece with Bolton le Moors 2 (p. 166, Ills. 415–16, 419–20) but, given Browne's description of the fragment as 'small', this seems unlikely.
