Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived)
Among the material recovered from one of the nineteenth-century restorations of the church was a circular column. In 1906 this had been converted into the base of a sundial at (what was later to become) Slyne Lodge Hotel, Slyne with Hest (SD 477658) (Taylor, H. 1906, 365); it was destroyed after a car accident in c. 1995 (info. from member of staff). Taylor described it as a 'circular shaft ... covered ... with waving lines like those on the nave arcade pillars in Durham Cathedral'. It was probably Norman but the description of the decoration would also fit that of pre-Norman sculptures like Hornby 2 or Burton in Kendal 3, Westmorland (Ills. 553–4; Bailey and Cramp 1988, ills. 190–2).
