Monument record 1936 - Pym Chair

Pym Chair is a large boulder on south side of Embridge Causeway. It stands on the county boundary and is carved with initials PC in 17th century style. Nearby were found 3 fragments of a Late Saxon cross with knotwork ornament. Predominantly found in the North of England, highly decorated Anglo-Saxon crosses were put up throughout the 8th, 9th and 10th centuries. The cross heads were small in relation to the shafts, where the bulk of decoration is found. The cross heads could be circular or a plain cross. They are believed to be associated with both religious and community uses (such as burial markers, boundary stones or meeting places)
