Working with Thorpe Thewles History Society, the project team have been assisting in documenting and researching a brand-new discovery – three conjoining fragments of a tenth-century cross-shaft. You can read about the Society’s remarkable discovery of this rare monument at a local site in a garden rockery and access a 3-D model of the reconstructed fragment of cross-shaft here. With carved beasts with snouts and tongues that transform into looping ribbon-like bodies, triquetras and interlace, this fine cross is clearly a product with Anglo-Scandinavian influences. Is this the lost Thorpe Cross mentioned in an 11th-century charter?
