make this certain. It was found in digging a grave outside 

 the church * In the outer face of the church tower there 

 have been built in for preservation a small sepulchral cross 

 and a fragment, giving the lower part of another, with 

 floreated branches. 



Still under the guidance of the Rector, the party left the 

 village and mounted up the side of St. Gregory's Hill, 

 ascending by the footway leading to Torleehouse ; but when 

 in sight of that place the party turned to the left, across 

 the meadow, towards the hollow behind Yeavering Bell. 



* A few weeks after the Club's visit another stone was found in 

 digging a grave at the East end of the church, which also was 

 thought to be a cist cover ; but, on examination, it proved to be a 

 fragment of a millstone, which had been over 2| feet in diameter. 

 The piece found was a full quarter of the whole stone, and had been 

 fitted to be driven with a wooden shaft, fixed by wedges in the 

 centre, the motive power being probably the burn which comes down 

 close by.
