TOPCLIFFE. The cross-head is preserved in the church porch. It is of coarse light-buff sandstone, 17 inches diameter and 5 inches thick; rather neatly carved and moderately deep, the edges rounded off, and the wheel bevelled. The other side is like the figure, but without the second incised line in the cross. (B).

WATH.-The pre-Norman fragments, preserved by the late Rev. W. C. Lukis, F.S.A., a former rector, are built into the organ chamber, except the cross-head (a), which is in the vestry. This head measures 13 inches broad, 13 inches high, and 7 inches thick; the other side is like the one drawn, but much worn, and on the end of the arm is a square with the corners joined, incised. The pattern of a is incised with the chisel; note the appearance of rude hands on the lateral arms. (A 3.)

The fragments (b) and (c) are built in above another fragment, of which the carving is defaced. They are together 17 inches broad, and bis 9 inches high; rather deeply hacked, with figures (Adam and Eve?), and a rough 'rusticated' design, like Kirkby Hill c. (C 1?)

The fragments (d) and (e) were found in a buttress, and are built in together as drawn; d has a flat strap and pellets, roughly done with chisel and drill, and measures 16 by 11 inches. The other, e, measures 20 by 12 inches, and bears the hart and hound.

WELBURY.-The figures (a, b, c) represent two sides and the end of a cross-arm, from the rectory. (A 3.)

The cross-head (d) is probably post-Conquest (a finial?).

These two stones are drawn from material kindly supplied by the Rev. Carus Vale Collier, F.S.A.

WEST WITTON.-In the vestry, built in, is the slab (a), of light-red sandstone, 16 inches broad and 17 inches high, carved in neat rounded chisel-work, with no ground showing in the plaits. The spaces between the cross-arms have been (recently?) scabbled with a of an inch chisel. (A 3.)

The cross-arm (b) is at the vicarage. It is of coarse brownish-grey grit, 13 inches high, 13 inches broad, and 9 inches thick; very deep cut, the other sides defaced. The figure may be the sponge-bearer in a crucifixion.

WENSLEY.-Built into the north wall of the nave, inside, is the slab (a), with the name of Donfrid. It is of brown sandstone, deep chiselled, 16 inches high and 9 inches broad. The edges are sharp and clear, except in the dragons' bodies, which are softened off. The design is asymmetrical, the sinister side drooping. (A 1.)

Near it is the slab (b), with the name of Eadberehct; brown sandstone, 14 inches high and 13 inches broad, the moulding rounded and deep cut, the cross in shallow relief. This stone was found by Father Haigh in 1846 as a flag in the pavement, outside, and as Symeon of Durham mentions, under 740, "Aruwini et Eadberctus," he thought this might be their tombstone. (A 1.)

The fragment (c, d, e) was taken from the east wall of the Early English chancel, inside, on November 3, 1904, in my presence, and cleaned by me. It is of whitish-yellow sandstone, well chiselled, with rounded arrises and stems, unusually neat in the clearing of the ground. It measures 12 inches high; the complete stone would have been 6 inches thick; the side d is 10 inches broad, tapering to 9 inches. The other side has been cut away. (A 2.)

The fragment (f, g, h) was taken from the chancel wall in October or November, 1904. It is of similar stone to c, d, e, 14 inches high, 9 inches broad, tapering to 8 inches, and would have been about 4 inches thick. The back is destroyed. Perhaps this and c,d,e had no ornament on the reverse, but were grave-slabs. (A 2.)

The shaft-fragment (i,j,k,l) is kept in the church; it is of coarse sparkling sandstone, 13 inches high, and 10 by 133 inches in greatest section; very roughly cut, but strongly modelled. (B 2.)

Built in on the north of the tower, outside, is m, the lower part of a cross-shaft, of which the continuation, without ornament, but with tenon to fit a socket, is not drawn. It measures about 21 by 12 inches. The ground inside the plait is sunk. (C 1.)

Also built in near m is n, measuring 13 by 6 inches.

Not figured here are two stones in the south porch :

(1) The shaft of a cross, with plain double-bead moulding. (2) The head of a wheel-cross, with no ornament, or too much weathered for the ornament to be now visible.

WHITBY.—Mr. Romilly Allen has kindly shown me his sketch of a fragment, the shaft and neck of a cross, measuring 18 inches in height, 9 inches broad at the base but tapering to 7 inches below the head, by 5 inches thick. The plait on the front is double-strap, and resembles Kirklevington v, but eared at the top of the panel like Kirklevington cc. On the edge is a single-strap twist like Kirklevington bb, but more open, and with only one moulding round it.
