Source/Archive record SCH7377 - Not a Saxon cross shaft? But an interesting historic witness

Short report (written for The Magazine of Nantwich Parish Church) on the find of a large, red sandstone stone (c.1.5m by 0.5m) set into the inside east wall of the south transept at St. Mary's Church. It's presence was revealed by the removal of the church organ for cleaning. The stone appears to be a grave cover which has been trimmed and is possibly of 13th century date. There are two other practically complete grave covers of similar date preserved in the north transept.
