At Collingham, there are fragments of three or four 
crosses, and of these, one about five feet high, is in a style 
of art very much resembling that of the Dewsbury fragments, 
and probably of equal antiquity. It presents on each side 
three figures of saints, in arches, one above another. The 
lowest series is separated from the two upper by a band of 
scrollwork, which follows the line of the arch. The attitude 
of the figures is varied, some being full faced, others turned 
a little to one side ; and there is this difference between 
the broad and narrow faces of the stone, that on the former 
the figures are of larger proportions and only half-length, 
on the latter they are full-length and smaller. This very 
interesting and early example shows no marks of the Irish 
School of Art. 
The second fragment is one limb of the head of a 
cross, with knotwork on each side of it. It has been fitted 
to the stone beneath it, but the patterns are not continuous, 
nor is it so broad. 
The third fragment has a simple fret on the two narrow 
sides, an interlacing ornament on the back, and on the front 
an ornament not unlike one of those on the Bewcastle cross, 
formed of two branches interlacing with fruit and foliage. 
The fourth fragment has on the back a knot, and traces 
of an inscription in two lines :t—

on the second side a spiral scroll with flowers and two lines 
of an inscription, of which the first line is quite distinct, 
the second presents only faint traces of letters
