Forming the lintel to the deeply-splayed west window of the south transept, there is a carved stone said to be a fragment of a Saxon cross-shaft. Careful examination has shown that it is a portion of a sepulchral slab bearing the elaborately foliated stem of a cross, carved in semi-relief, of the late 12th century.
