Crowle Stone
Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English
The Crowle Stone is the remains of an Anglo-Saxon cross at the back of the Church of England parish church of St Oswald at Crowle, Lincolnshire.[1][2]
This was originally carved as a cross shaft and until 1919 it was used as a lintel over the west door.[1][2] The preservation of the stone is almost certainly a result of the Norman masons reusing it when the church was rebuilt in 1150.[3]
The stone measures Script error: No such module "convert". in height Script error: No such module "convert". thick and Script error: No such module "convert". wide.
The stone is ornately carved on all three sides. At the bottom of one face there is a runic inscription which would date the cross shaft as being before 950 AD, as the use of runes had almost completely died out by then.
