Title Llanveynoe Church, St Beuno, 1930
Description Black and white photograph showing an incised cross in the stones of St Beuno's church in Llanveynoe, Herefordshire, England, UK. Cemented into the south wall of the church are two stones. One of these shows Christ crucified. He wears a tunic and his arms are out-stretched with his feet in a standing position, head leaning slightly to one side. Tiny holes or pock marks can be seen in the stone, suggesting that it could be part of a pre-Christian, pagan altar? Next to it, another stone shows signs of damage. This has only half an incised cross, an inscription, and alpha and omega symbols. Both stones are thought to date from between the 7th-10th centuries.
