60412 N THE NORTH AISLE WALL OF ST GERMAIN'S CHURCH IS A SECTION FROM AN ERODED LATE C10/C11 CROSS SHAFT WITH INTERLACE, ALSO INTERPRETED AS A MID TENTH-EARLY ELEVENTH CENTURY GRAVE COVER (SEE BELOW). {1} A WHITE OOLITIC LIMESTONE PANEL IS SET IN THE NORTH EXTERIOR WALL OF THE NORTH AISLE, PROBABLY AT THE REBUILDING OF 1820. WITHIN A CABLE BORDER IS A PANEL OF SINGLE STRAND INTERLACE FORMING PART OF A LARGE SLAB. ABOVE THIS AND SEPARATED FROM IT BY A DOUBLE CABLE IS A PORTION OF INTERLACE PROBABLY COMBINED WITH FREE CIRCLES. THE UPPERMOST INTERLACE IS A BROAD ROUND STRAND WHILE THE LOWER DESIGN MORE ANGULAR WITH A DEEPLY CUT BACKGROUND. THIS FRAGMENT WOULD FORM PART OF A GENTLY COPED GRAVE SLAB AND NOT A STANDING CROSS; A MORE COMPLETE EXAMPLE OF THIS PATTERN AND OF SIMILAR TECHNIQUE MAY BE SEEN AT BASSINGHAM. {2} This has also been interpreted as a mid tenth-early eleventh century grave cover. It may have been reused in the original wall of the north aisle, dating to about 1300. It is of mid-Kesteven type with interlace and 'bull's head' motif, now barely legible. {3}
